AB Traumatic injuries are the biggest killer of children in the developed
world and can lead to significant disability and healthcare expenditure.
On average, one child dies every hour from injuries or violence in the
United States.1 Almost 14,000 children and adolescents died in 2016 in
the United States from unintentional or violence-related injury, giving a
crude death rate of almost 17 per 100,000; >60% of these deaths were
unintentional.2 Additionally, an average of 22,200 children seek medical
attention every day in U.S. EDs for nonfatal injuries.1 Although often
referred to as “accidents,” most traumatic injuries in children represent
discrete, potentially preventable events.
