PG  - 267-74
AB  - During a 12-month period ending on November 30, 1988, data were collected on 4623 
      pediatric patients visiting a pediatric emergency department with trauma 
      (excluding burns). Sixty-one percent were male. Common causes of the trauma 
      included suspected child abuse (4%), organized sports (6%), nonorganized sports 
      (4%), pedestrian motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) (3%), bicycle MVAs (2%), and 
      automobile MVAs (3%). However, most of the incidents had none of the identified 
      associated activities surrounding the trauma (60%). Incidents took place at home 
      (41%), on the street (11%), at school (10%), and at a playground or park (10%). 
      Injuries involved the external body (59%), extremity (26%), head or neck (13%), 
      face (4%), chest (1%), and abdomen (2%) and were more common during the summer. 
      Injury severity scores had a mean of 1.8 and were grouped as: less than 3 (80%), 
      3-6 (19%), and greater than 6 (1.6%). Factors associated with higher trauma 
      severity included MVAs, water-related injuries, sports, streets, schools, parks, 
      playgrounds, skateboards, skates, and alcohol.
