dc.description.abstractAim: The aim of this study was to analyze the demographic and laboratory data of pediatric trauma patients admitted to the emergency department. Materials and Methods: Our study was conducted by retrospectively analyzing the files of 573 patients from the computer registry system of pediatric trauma cases aged between 0 and 16. In addition, information such as age and gender of the patients, monthly admissions, mechanism of trauma, the place where the trauma occurred, the consultations requested, the services where the patients were followed, the body parts exposed to the trauma, radiological and laboratory findings, and the treatments given were specified. Results: The most common mechanisms among trauma etiologies were falling and impact on pediatric traumas. Head and neck injuries occurred first when body parts exposed to trauma were examined. It was determined that head and neck injuries increased as age decreased. It was found that the frequency of abdominal trauma increased as age decreased, and those with abdominal injury had lower hemoglobin and hematocrit values and higher alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase values compared with those without abdominal injuries. Conclusion: It has been determined that in terms of the incidence of pediatric traumas, there were different etiological causes and trauma areas, their frequency varied seasonally, and a good evaluation of the blood tests was critical in the assessment and follow-up of patients and to avoid missing some injuries.en_US
