[quote=Anonymous][quote]Playground-Related TBIs [b]The overall rate of ED visits for playground-related TBI has significantly increased in recent years (2005-2013)[/b] About two-thirds of playground-related TBIs occurred at school and places or recreation or sports and often involved monkey bars, climbing equipment, or swings. Most ED visits for playground-related TBIs occur during weekdays, Monday through Friday. Playground-related TBI ED visits occurred frequently during the months of April, May, and September.[/quote] Has the death rate from TBI related to playground falls increased during that time? Because my guess is that ED visits has gone up due to heightened awareness of TBI risk in general. In decades past kids fell; as long as they didn't lose consciousness they would just sit the rest of recess out, maybe get sent to the nurse but not taken to the ER. [/quote]
