Aim: The introduction and increasing popularity of indoor trampoline facilities has seen increases in the incidence of trampoline park injuries (TPIs), particularly amongst the paediatric population. A challenge to the development of effective injury prevention interventions is the limited study pool of detailed activity and outcome data to provide better understanding of the characteristics of injurious events.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of individuals under 16 years of age hospitalised after TPI from November 2018 to December 2021 was conducted.
Objective: Glycemic monitoring via Hemoglobin A1(HbA1c) proves to be inaccurate when a patient is diagnosed with a hemoglobinopathy/erythrocyte disorder. Moreover, any acute changes of glycemic intake within 6 weeks of blood sampling have been noted to impart a greater effect on HbA1c than the remaining days of the supposed overall 3-to-4-month average of glycemic control. Fructosamine, an alternative to HbA1c, allows physicians to analyze glycemic control in the presence of an underlying hemoglobinopathy/erythrocyte disorder.
