Analysis of the clinical features of 980 accidental pediatric injuries in the PICU
Accidental pediatric injuries predominantly occur in boys, with infants and preschool children being the most affected. These injuries are more common in summer, with drug poisoning, traffic accidents, and falls being the main causes. Among the common causes, traffic accidents and falls showed an increasing trend, whereas poisoning and drowning showed a decreasing trend. Suffocation syndrome, drowning, and food poisoning were associated with high mortality rates.
