Abstract：
This retrospective study utilized the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database to identify pediatric emergency department (ED) patients with playground-associated craniofacial injuries between January 2012 and December 2021. A total of 25 414 patients were identified. The majority of injuries occurred in preschool and elementary school-age children (90.3%) and patients were more commonly boys (59.3%). Injuries most often involved the head/scalp (52.4%), face (30.4%), and mouth (11.9%). Infant (32.7%) and teen (40.0%) injuries most commonly involved swings, whereas preschool (23.1%) and elementary school (28.1%) injuries were mostly associated with slides and climbers, respectively. Most patients were treated in the ED and discharged to home (96.5%), a small portion required hospitalization (1.6%), and one death was reported. Although the majority of the injuries were relatively minor and resulted in same-day discharges, these injuries can result in serious physical harm, emotional stress, and unexpected financial burdens. Proper education and supervision regarding safe play is important to prevent these injuries.
摘要：
这项回顾性研究利用了国家电子伤害监测系统（NEISS）数据库，以确定2012年1月至2021年12月期间患有游乐场相关颅面损伤的儿科急诊科（ED）患者。总共确定了25414名患者。大多数伤害发生在学龄前和小学学龄儿童（90.3％），患者更常见的是男孩（59.3％）。头部/头皮损伤最常见（52.4%），面部(30.4%)，和嘴（11.9%）。婴儿（32.7％）和青少年（40.0％）伤害最常见的是秋千，而学龄前（23.1％）和小学（28.1％）的伤害主要与滑梯和登山者有关，分别。大多数患者在急诊室接受治疗并出院(96.5%)，一小部分需要住院治疗(1.6%)，据报道有一人死亡。尽管大多数受伤相对较轻，并导致当天出院，这些伤害会导致严重的身体伤害，情绪压力,和意想不到的经济负担。关于安全游戏的适当教育和监督对于防止这些伤害很重要。
