Introduction

  • Traumatic brain injury(TBI)

➢ A major cause of death and disability in children.

  • First step for developing preventative

strategies of children TBI.

➢Understanding epidemiologic characteristics and outcomes.

  • Aims

➢Epidemiologic features and outcomes according to aged groups(Pre-school vs School- aged group) in children TBI.

  • Design: A cross-sessional study
  • Source of data

➢Emergency Department(ED) based Injury In- depth Surveillance(EDIIS) database : total 23 EDs of tertiary hospital in South Korea.

  • Inclusions

➢Between Jan. 2011 and Dec. 2015 ➢Children(aged 0 to 18) with TBI

  • Two aged categories

➢Pre-school group: under 7 years old ➢School-aged group: 7 years old and over

  • The epidemiological characteristics of TBI in school-aged group are differentiated

from pre-school group.

  • It is necessary to develop differentiated preventative strategies and treatment systems

according to aged groups in children TBI.
