Retrospective Analysis of Pediatric Head Trauma Patients

Öz

Aim: The purpose of this study was to increase the amount of epidemiological data regarding pediatric head traumas and emphasize the necessity of developing trauma prevention strategies. Materials and Methods: The data of a total of 135 patients aged 0-18 referred to the Neurosurgery Clinic of Muş State Hospital between November 2022 and November 2024 were included retrospectively analyzed. Results: Eighty one (60.0%) of the patients were male, and 54 (40.0%) were female. Falling from height (38.5%) was the most frequently encountered cause of trauma. According to their initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores, 90.4% of the patients had mild (GCS 13-15), 3.7% had moderate (GCS 9-12), and 5.9% had severe (GCS 3-8) head traumas. Visits took place in the summer months at a rate of 43.7% and outside the working hours at a rate of 57.8%. There were 6 patients who required surgical intervention, and these patients had compression fractures and intracranial hematomas. Conclusion: It should be kept in mind that pediatric head traumas are caused by preventable factors, and a significant proportion of these traumas can be prevented through appropriate precautions. The results of this study emphasize the need to increase the amount of epidemiological data related to pediatric head traumas and develop prevention strategies.
