Trend of age-adjusted rates of pediatric traumatic brain injury in U.S. emergency departments from 2006 to 2013.
The objective of this study was to use the 2006(-)2013 Nationwide Emergency Department Sample (NEDS) database to describe trends of age-adjusted rates of pediatric traumatic brain injuries (TBI) treated in U.S. emergency departments. The investigators found that the overall age-adjusted rates of pediatric TBI-related emergency department (ED) visits increased from 2006 to 2013, which was largely caused by pediatric mild TBIs, especially unspecified injury to the head (ICD-9-CM code 959.01) and concussion.
