The incidence, trends, and costs of treatment of femoral shaft fractures among Finnish children aged 2-12 years between 1998 and 2016.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and trends of both hip spica casting and elastic stable intramedullary nailing in children aged 2-12 years who sustained femoral diaphyseal fracture between 1998 and 2016 in Finland. We also evaluated the actual hospital costs of both treatment methods as well as calculating the length of hospital stay.

Methods: This study included all 2- to 12-year-old children with femoral diaphyseal fracture who were treated in Finland between 1998 and 2016.

Birth injury in breech delivery: a nationwide population-based cohort study in Finland.

Purpose: Previous studies have examined the optimal mode of breech delivery extensively, but there is a scarcity of publications focusing on the birth injuries of neonates born in breech presentation. This study aimed to examine birth injury in breech deliveries.

Methods: In this retrospective register-based nationwide cohort study, data on birth injuries in vaginal breech deliveries with singleton live births were compared to cesarean section with breech presentation and cephalic vaginal delivery between 2004 and 2017 in Finland.

Daylight savings time transition and the incidence of femur fractures in the older population: a nationwide registry-based study.

Background: Daylight Savings Time (DST) transition is known to cause sleep disruption, and thus may increase the incidence of injuries and accidents during the week following the transition. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of femur fractures after DST transition.

Methods: We conducted retrospective population-based register study.

Incidence changes in risk factors associated with the decreasing number of birth-related clavicle fractures in Finland: A nationwide retrospective birth cohort from 2004 to 2017.

Background: A clavicle fracture is one of the most common birth injuries. The objective of this study was to examine whether the decreased incidence of birth-related clavicle fractures in Finland is because of temporal changes in their predisposing factors.

Methods: For this nationwide population-based study, we used the Finnish Medical Birth Register and the Care Register for Health Care databases.

Severe birth injuries in neonates and associated risk factors for injury in mothers with different types of diabetes in Finland.

Objective: To examine severe birth-related injuries in neonates among mothers with different types of diabetes.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study based on Finnish Medical Birth Register data from 2004 to 2017. The study included singleton neonates born vaginally with cephalic presentation (n = 623 649) after 35  weeks of gestation.
