Regionalization Patterns for Children with Serious Trauma in California (2005-2015): A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Conclusions: We demonstrate statewide primary triage and transfer patterns for pediatric trauma in a large and varied state. Specifically we identified previously unrecognized individual, hospital, and EMS system associations with pediatric trauma regionalization. Knowledge of these de facto trauma care access patterns has policy and process implications that could improve care for all injured children in need.
