BMC Ophthalmology Feb 03, 2019
Gise R, et al. - A total of 58,765 pediatric candidates in this retrospective review of the National Trauma Data Bank from 2008 to 2014 were examined to estimate the variations in epidemiologic patterns of pediatric ocular injuries based on intention. Investigators noticed a major association of unintentional injuries with falls, assault with firearms and self-inflicted trauma also with firearms. They observed an increase in mean(SD) age from unintentional, 12.9(6.6) years and assault 12.3(8.1) years to self-inflicted trauma, 17(3.4) years. They recorded the highest odds of open adnexa wounds from unintentional trauma, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and mortality from assault among the 0-3 year age group.
