Association between paediatric eye injuries, later academic success and social performance.

Aim: To investigate an association between eye injury and later academic and social performance.

Materials: A retrospective longitudinal study of taking measurements multiple times was conducted including all severe eye injuries admitted during 2011-2017 at the main regional clinic to investigate changes in academic success and social inclusion before and after an injury. Parents/caregivers were surveyed asking questions on academic performance, and community/social involvement.

Gamifying accelerometer use increases physical activity levels of individuals pre-disposed to type II diabetes.

Physical activity is important for preventing obesity and diabetes, but most obese and pre-diabetic patients are not physically active. We developed a Fitbit-based game called MapTrek that promotes walking. We recruited obese and pre-diabetic patients.

The Risk and Protective Factors for Pediatric Eye Injuries: A Case-Crossover Study.

: To investigate state- and trait-like risk factors leading to childhood eye injuries controlling for the between-subject difference. This study measured socioeconomic, environmental, behavioral, and injury event characteristics to identify eye injury protective and risk factors.: A retrospective case-crossover study including patients aged 0-18 years old (y.
