Abstract
A retrospective study of children with head injuries and head lacerations in an active emergency department (Vancouver General Hospital) revealed differences in incidence with age and sex, as well as relationships between the frequency of visits and the season, the day of the week and the time of day. Radiographs were taken of a large number of the patients with head injuries and a significant proportion of these children were admitted to hospital. A prospective study is proposed which would examine the natural history of accidental head injuries in children.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
