McLoughlin RJ, Hazeltine MD, Durgin J, et al. - Given that falls remain the leading cause of unintentional pediatric trauma in the United States and identifying risk factors for pediatric building falls would influence public health policy, researchers conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the Kids’ Inpatient Database for years 2006, 2009, and 2012 to test the assumption that building falls disproportionately affect low-income communities. Using external cause of injury codes, cases (age <12 years) of falls from a building were identified. Nationally, 2,294 hospitalizations were reported for pediatric falls from a building. Logistic regression showed males were 33% more likely than females, and Black (33%) and Asian or Pacific Islanders (65%) were more likely to experience a fall from a building compared with non-Hispanic White youth. For children under 12 years old, building falls are a frequent cause of injury in the U.S. Injury prevention strategies for parents of children between 1 and 5 years of age have the potential to have a positive effect on public health.
