Nabavizadeh B, Namiri NK, Hakam N, et al. - The demographics, epidemiology, and common mechanisms linked with playground equipment-related genital injuries in children were evaluated by analyzing data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System database. From 2010 to 2019, they identified reporting of 27,738 (95% confidence interval 18,602-36,874) emergency department visits with an average annual incidence of 3.8 (95% confidence interval 2.5-5) per 100,000 United States population ≤ 17 years. The patients were of mean age of 6.6 (standard error 0.152) years with preschool children (48.1%) and females (81.1%) experiencing most injuries. Climbing apparatus was linked with over half of genital injuries (55.2%), followed by slides (10.7%), swings (9%), and seesaws (4.8%). Public (41.4%) and school settings (36.3%) had occurrence of most genital injuries. The most common mechanism leading to genital injuries was straddling and/or falling (84.4%). During the 10-year study period, genital injuries arising from playground equipment have remained stable despite current safety standards. The number of injuries showed monthly variations with peak injuries in April-May, and September-October. These findings may aid in guiding efforts aimed at the prevention of such injuries in various locations.
