Over 750,000 children and adolescents with head injuries present annually to EDs in the United States, double that of a decade ago. The highest incidence is in the 0- to 4-year age group.1 Annual estimates of pediatric sports-related concussion in the United States range from 1.1 to 1.9 million.2 Although the majority of concussions are not seen in healthcare settings, an estimated 378,000 patients were seen as outpatient visits, 150,000 presented to the ED, and 5000 were admitted to hospitals annually in the United States alone.2 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/28 UR - accessemergencymedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1166591842 ER -
