Objectives: Pediatric farm injuries tend to be more severe and have poorer outcomes compared to injuries sustained in non-farm settings. Timely emergency medical service (EMS) response and transport to definitive care is crucial for optimizing outcomes for trauma patients. We aimed to determine if pediatric farm injuries were associated with longer EMS response and transport times compared to pediatric non-farm injuries in rural communities.

Background: Agriculture is a hazardous industry with undocumented injury events. Credible surveillance measures are critical for this industry, especially to guide injury prevention programs with targeted recommendations for specific commodity groups and populations. This multi-phase study explored the feasibility for two state agency databases, the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) Program and the Emergency Medical Services Incident Reporting System (EMSIRS), to augment the state's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) annual reports.
