“…Between 1999 and 2004, the national unintentional injury death rate increased by 7%,[5] and for the period 2000–2009 there was an annualized national rate of 1,081 infant deaths per 100,000 population. [6] Overall child mortality during this period in the U.S was documented to be 11,561 children deaths per 100,000 population, whereas the rate for West Virginia was 597 per 100,000. [6]…”

Although injury-related deaths have been documented among children and adult populations, insufficient attention has been directed towards injury-related infant deaths. The objective of this retrospective study was to investigate maternal and infant characteristics associated with injury-related infant deaths in West Virginia. Birth and infant mortality data for 2010–2014 were sourced from the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health, Charleston. Relative risk was calculated using log-binomial regression utilizing generalized estimating equations. Maternal characteristics associated with injury-related infant mortality in West Virginia were race/ethnicity ( = 7.48, p = .03), and smoking during pregnancy ( , p < .00). Risk of a Black Non-Hispanic infant suffering an injury-related death was 4.0 (95% CL 1.7, 9.3) times that of infants of other races/ethnicities. Risk of an infant dying from an injury-related cause, if the mother smoked during pregnancy, was 2.9 (95% CL 1.6, 5.0) times the risk of such a death if maternal smoking status during pregnancy is unknown or no smoking, controlling for race/ethnicity. This study provides important information to public health stakeholders at both the state and local levels in designing interventions for partial reduction or prevention of injury-related infant mortality in West Virginia.

“…This study showed that one in four children in the United States will sustain an unintentional injury requiring emergency treatment [ 1 , 2 ], leading to over 8.7 million hospital visits each year [ 3 , 4 ]. In addition, trauma is the leading cause of mortality and acquired disability in children [ 5 , 6 , 7 ], causing 12,000 injury-related deaths [ 8 ] and accounting for 34% of all child mortality annually in the United States [ 9 ]. However, compared to adults, children had lower reported trauma-related mortality rates in the United States: The fatalities were 12.69, 3.69 and 3.7 per 100,000 persons in pediatric population aged 0–4 years, 5–9 years and 10–14 years respectively; compared to 45.30 fatalities per 100,000 persons in adults aged 20–64 years [ 9 ].…”

Background: This study aimed to profile the epidemiology of injury among preschool-aged and school-aged children in comparison to those in adults. Methods: According to the Trauma Registry System of a level I trauma center, the medical data were retrieved from 938 preschool-aged children (aged less than seven years), 670 school-aged children (aged 7–12 years), and 16,800 adults (aged 20–64 years) between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2016. Two-sided Pearson’s, chi-squared, and Fisher’s exact tests were used to compare categorical data. A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the Games-Howell post-hoc test was used to assess the differences in continuous variables among different groups of patients. The mortality outcomes of different subgroups were assessed by a multivariable regression model under the adjustment of sex, injury mechanisms, and injury severity. Results: InFsupppjury mechanisms in preschool-aged and school-aged children were remarkably different from that in adults; in preschool-aged children, burns were the most common cause of injury requiring hospitalization (37.4%), followed by falls (35.1%) and being struck by/against objects (11.6%). In school-aged children, injuries were most commonly sustained from falls (47.8%), followed by bicycle accidents (14%) and being struck by/against objects (12.5%). Compared to adults, there was no significant difference of the adjusted mortality of the preschool-aged children (AOR = 0.9; 95% CI 0.38–2.12; p = 0.792) but there were lower adjusted odds of mortality of the school-aged children (AOR = 0.4; 95% CI 0.10–0.85; p = 0.039). The school-aged children had lower odds of mortality than adults (OR, 0.2; 95% CI, 0.06–0.74; p = 0.012), but such lower odds of risk of mortality were not found in preschool-aged children (OR, 0.7; 95% CI, 0.29–1.81; p = 0.646). Conclusions: This study suggests that specific types of injuries from different injury mechanisms are predominant among preschool-aged and school-aged children. The school-aged children had lower odds of mortality than adults; nonetheless there was no difference in mortality rates of preschool-aged children than adults, with or without controlling for sex, injury mechanisms and ISS. These results highlight the importance of injury prevention, particularly for preschool-aged children in Southern Taiwan.

“…As highlighted by data drawn from hunter-gather and historical mortality data, mortality rates are estimated at approximately 27% for infants during the first year of life, and 47.5% for children prior to reaching puberty (Volk & Atkinson, 2013). Unintentional injury is consistently the leading cause for fatalities in children and adolescents (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014;Borse, Rudd, Dellinger, & Sleet, 2013;Deal, Gomby, Zippiroli, & Behrman, 2000). Boys, middle-to-late adolescents, minorities, and low-income youth are the most vulnerable populations to unintentional injury (Grossman, 2000).…”
