Paed Child Healt Can · Dec 2014
A population-based study of paediatric emergency department and office visits for concussions from 2003 to 2010.
There is a paucity of information regarding descriptive epidemiology of paediatric concussions over time, and few studies include both emergency department (ED) and physician office visits. ⋯ The increasing use of health care services for concussions is likely related to changes in incidence over time and increased awareness of concussion as a health issue. Evidence-based prevention initiatives to help reduce the incidence of concussion are warranted, particularly in sports and recreation programs.
