Early identification and prevention rely on detailed epidemiological studies, which are limited in Asia. This retrospective study used the registry data of Pan-Asian Trauma Outcome Study (PATOS) from October 1, 2015 to December, 31, 2020. Pediatric patients (aged < 20 years) with non-accidental injuries were enrolled, which were divided by age into preschool (0-6 years), child (7-12 years), and adolescent (13-19 years) groups. Baseline characteristics, injury epidemiology, and excess mortality ratio-adjusted injury severity score (EMR-ISS) were collected. Major trauma was defined as an EMR-ISS score > 24. The study enrolled 451 patients with non-accidental injuries, accounting for 2.81% of pediatric trauma events presented tScientific reportsCharacteristics of non-accidental injuries in children and adolescents in Asia: a cross-national, multicenter cohort study.PMC10123055MOST 108-2314-B-002-130-MY3NTUHYL.111.S017MOST 107-2314-B-002 -007PATOS Clinical Research NetworkJamaluddin SFRao RVelasco BYeom SRSon DNYssof SJDMJi KWBuaprasert PAkaraborworn OHaedar AKao WFKim SCKim JYTianwibool PConvocar PKim SJChia HWLlc SFAnthonysamy CGundran CDJeong JTanaka HKhruekarnchana PLee MCRiyapan SWang PYAli SBMRamakrishnan TVG Sabarre NHuy LBYang CBAl Sakaf OAHamad HBHsieh SLHong KJKimura AKheng CPMoon SWRamanathan PRyu HHShin SDChiang WCKean LCCha WCTseng WCHsu LMWang RFSaim AHAbdullah WRBWAhn JYSong KJLee SCMohidin MABTiglao PJSun JTIsmail SAAbraham GPVan Dai NLee KHfalseCharacteristics of non-accidental injuries in children and adolescents in Asia: a cross-national, multicenter cohort study.Children and adolescents are vulnerable to non-accidental injury.
