“…The incidence of pTBI in Oslo was comparable with other Scandinavian studies 2,18,26 . Our results may reflect that the Scandinavian focus on road safety and the use of safety equipment has resulted in lower incidences than other parts of the world 2 .…”

“…Disparities between the sexes in AC incidence have also been found and these have been shown to vary by age [22]. These may be due to differences in the distribution of underlying subtypes of AI between the sexes, such as an increased incidence of acquired hypopituitarism from acquired brain injury in males [46, 47]. Alternatively, they may be due to physiological differences between males and females that are related to age [39] or possibly differences in the dosages of glucocorticoid replacement therapy between the sex and age groups, particularly in children with CAH.…”

Adrenal Crises in Children: Perspectives and Research Directions

et al. 2018

Adrenal crises (AC) are life-threatening physiological disturbances that occur at a rate of 5–10/100 patient years in patients with adrenal insufficiency (AI). Despite their seriousness, there is a paucity of information on the epidemiology of AC events in the paediatric population specifically, as most investigations have focused on AI and ACs in adults. Improved surveillance of AC-related morbidity and mortality should improve the delineation of AC risk overall and among different subgroups of paediatric patients with AI. Valid incidence measures are essential for this purpose and also for the evaluation of interventions aimed at reducing adverse health outcomes from ACs. However, the absence of an agreed AC definition limits the potential benefit of research and surveillance in this area. While approaches to the treatment and prevention of ACs have much in common across the lifespan, there are important differences between children and adults with regards to the physiological, psychological, and social milieu in which these events occur. Education is considered to be an essential element of AC prevention but studies have shown that ACs occur even among well-educated patients, suggesting that new strategies may be needed. In this review, we examine the current knowledge regarding AC events in children with AI; assess the existing definitions of an AC and offer a new definition for use in research and the clinic; and suggest areas for further investigation that are aimed at reducing the incidence and health impact of ACs in the paediatric age group.

“…Had concussions been included in this study, the rate of brain injury would have been higher. As shown by a study that utilized the Finnish National Hospital Discharge Register, concussions were by far the most common traumatic brain injuries in patients aged 18 years or less who had been hospitalized for traumatic brain injuries from 1998 to 2012 16 . It is important to acknowledge that between 14% and 29% of children with mild traumatic brain injury show postconcussion symptoms for several months after the injury 17 .…”

The incidence of pediatric craniofacial fractures and heterogeneity of fractures is known to increase with age. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of associated injuries (AIs) to craniofacial fractures and identify differences in patterns of and predictors for AIs in children and teenagers. A 6year retrospective cross-sectional cohort study was designed and implemented. The study population included 397 patients aged 19 years or less diagnosed with craniofacial fracture at Helsinki University Hospital from 2013 to 2018. Boys (71.0%) and teenagers (64.7%) were predominated. Associated injuries were more common in teenagers than children. Teenagers had more often AI in 2 or more organ systems. Assault and intoxication by alcohol were observed only in teenagers and predominantly boys. A total of 27.0% of all patients sustained AIs. In 18.1%, brain injury was reported. In children, motor vehicle accident (MVA) was an independent predictor for AI. In teenagers, independent predictors for AI were female sex, isolated cranial fracture, combined cranial fracture, and high-energy trauma mechanism. Injury patterns and AI related to craniofacial fractures in the pediatric population are age-specific, requiring multidisciplinary collaboration in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of such trauma. Predictors for AIs increase in complexity with age, and the role of sex as a predictor is evident in teenagers.
