Traumatic spine injuries in paediatric and adolescent patients: a registry-based study of ICU needs and clinical outcomes
This study highlights the burden of TSIs among children and adolescents in Saudi Arabia, particularly those caused by MVCs and frequently associated with polytrauma. The findings highlight the pressing need for targeted prevention strategies, improved trauma system infrastructure, and multidisciplinary management. Future research should investigate long-term outcomes and evaluate the effectiveness of preventive initiatives.
