Firearm-Related Pediatric Head Trauma: A Scoping Review

扫码查看
BACKGROUND: Firearm-related injury is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in pediatric populations。 Despite a disproportionate role in the most morbid outcomes in both traumatic brain injury and firearm-related injury populations, firearm-related traumatic brain injury (frTBI) is an understudied epidemiologicai entity。 There is need to increase understanding and promote interventions that reduce this burden of disease。 OBJECTIVE: To assess the evidence characterizing pediatric frTBI to highlight trends and gaps regarding burden of disease and interventions to reduce frTBI。 METHODS: We conducted a scoping review under Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-Scoping Review (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines on peer-reviewed studies across 5 databases (Medline OVID, EMBASE, Web of Science Legal Collection, Psy-chlNFO, and Academic Search Complete)。 English studies examining pediatric frTBI epidemiology, prevention, and/or social or legal policy advocacy were included。 Articles were excluded if they more generally discussed pediatric firearm-related injury without specific analysis of frTBI。
