Purpose: The aim of the study is to enhance understanding, raise awareness and inform prevention programmes regarding potential factors that lead to severe paediatric injuries caused by unintentional falls from windows.
Methods: This is a retrospective review from a major Trauma Centre, covering the majority of North West England and North Wales and included children under the age of 16 that had sustained falls from windows and were hospitalised between April 2015 and June 2020.
Results: Overall, 825 patients' records have been reviewed, 39% of which exhibited neurosurgical injuries (322 admissions).
