Falls from height in children: epidemiology and outcome
CONCLUSION: Our study shows that falls from windows of homes are an important cause of mortality. Height of fall was also an important predictor of morbidity that led to a higher level of hospitalisation care. Preventive measures should be implemented to ensure safety in high-rise residential buildings to prevent paediatric falls from heights.PMID:38363644 | DOI:10.4103/singaporemedj.SMJ-2021-397
