| Popis: | More than half a million children experience non-accidental trauma (NAT) annually. Historically, NAT has been associated with an increased hospital length of stay (LOS). We hypothesized that in pediatric trauma patients, NAT is associated with longer hospital LOS, independent of injury severity, compared to accidental trauma (AT). The Pediatric Trauma Quality Improvement Program (2014–2016) was queried for patients aged 1–16 years. Patients were stratified into two groups: AT and NAT. The median LOS for the entire cohort was identified and used in a multivariable logistic regression analysis. From 93,089 pediatric trauma patients, 417 ( |
