| Popis: | OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of rib fractures (RFs) identified by chest x-ray (CXR) among children younger than 2 years who sustained accidental versus nonaccidental injuries. It is hypothesized that RFs are uncommon among all accidental pediatric trauma mechanisms (eg, falls, motor vehicle crashes) as compared with the prevalence of RFs in the setting of nonaccidental trauma (NAT). METHODS A retrospective chart review of sequential CXRs of children younger than 2 years evaluated at a pediatric level 1 trauma center for accidental trauma and possible NAT was conducted from January 1, 2011, to October 31, 2016. Data collected included demographics, CXR indication and findings, history of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, trauma mechanism, associated injuries, final diagnoses, and outcomes. RESULTS Two ( |
