INTRODUCTION:Data describing the outcomes of various traumatic intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) in children is limited.In this study, we describe types of ICH and their outcomes. We also intend to assess the differences between accidental (AT) and non-accidental trauma (NAT).
METHODS:We conducted a retrospective study at a level 1 trauma center in patients < 18 year (n=202) between 01/2014 and 03/2021 with a traumatic ICH. Data collected included demographics, type of ICH, initial presentation, neuroimaging findings, injury severity score (ISS), and presence of confirmed NAT. Outcomes included ICU/hospital length of stay (LOS) in days (d), and patient disposition. Comparative statistics were performed between hemorrhage type and AT/NAT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
