abstract="We enrolled 911 children aged <12 years presenting to the trauma center of a tertiary-care hospital (over a period of 18 months) with history of injuries. Majority (582; 63.9%) of children had sustained injuries at home; 56 (6.1%) had severe injuries based on Pediatric Trauma Score. Of road traffic accidents victims (n=232), majority (40.5%) were two-wheeler pillion riders or pedestrians (31.9%). More Indian data are required and efforts are needed to prioritize injury prevention efforts in children.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
