Epidemiology of Pedestrian-Motor Vehicle Fatalities and Injuries, 2006-2015.

Introduction: Pedestrian road safety remains a public health priority. The objective of this study is to describe trends in fatalities and injuries after pedestrian-motor vehicle collisions in the U.S.

The modern paediatric injury pyramid: injuries in Massachusetts children and adolescents.

The objective of this study was to develop a modern version of the paediatric injury pyramid, a visual classification of injury severity, and to present mechanism-based pyramids. As the original paediatric injury pyramid was described in 1980, the injury epidemiology from 1980 was compared with 2004. Comprehensive emergency department, hospital discharge and death data for Massachusetts in 2004 were used to determine injury rates for residents aged 0-19 years.
