Brief Summary

Purpose: a retrospective study of all Paediatric patients who presented to Ziv Medical Centre with injuries of all systems, major and minor, in order to determine the exact circumstances of the injury, whether this might have been preventable and design a Haddon Matrix of risk factors for injury to target prevention. Hypothesis: injury prevention interventions can be targetted by finding out local causes of Paediatric Trauma

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Establishing exact mechanism of injury

  This is a retrospective study. We approximate that since the Trauma registry began in 2007, there have been 200 Paediatric injuries every year. By the end of this year's data collection, therefore, we estimate that we would have collected data from 1000 patients.

  5 years (2007-2012)
