Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how a child's race affects the likelihood of being admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) after a traumatic injury, hypothesizing that minority children would have higher admission rates than White children.
- - Data was analyzed from 654 pediatric patients at a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center over five years, focusing on demographics, injury details, and hospital usage, with special attention to race categorized as either White or a racial minority.
- - Results showed that only 26.1% of PICU admissions were from racial minority children, suggesting they had lower odds of being admitted compared to White children, even when controlling for age and type of injury.
