Pediatric trauma volume fell during the initial COVID-19 wave but rebounded to new highs for the remainder of 2020
Conclusions: Results indicated an initial drop in injury volume consistent with previous findings, but these were offset by increased volume in the second half of 2020. The growth in gun violence is concerning and warrants additional research. Changes in behavior in response to the pandemic such as reduced participation in sports and use of playgrounds, reduced driving, and increased time at home help explain the changes observed in injury patterns. These findings emphasize the continued need for pediatric trauma care during the pandemic. (Source: Journal of Injury and Violence Research)
