摘要
Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of death and disability in the pediatric age group. Causes of injury vary with child developmental age, with more inflicted injuries in infants, fall-related injuries among toddlers, sports-related injuries among middle-school-aged children and motor vehicle crashes in older children. Prevention strategies exist for some pediatric traumatic brain injury; however, all suffer from lack of compliance and enforcement. Neuropsychological and behavioral outcomes for injured children vary with the severity of injury, child age at injury, premorbid child characteristics, family factors and the families' socioeconomic status. Each of these factors needs to be taken into account when designing rehabilitation strategies and assessing factors related to outcome. Copyright (c) 2006 S. Karger AG, Basel.
