Scope of the Problem men’s National Medical Center : Calan
Posted by Surgery on Jul 8, 2008
More children die from injuries each year than from all other diseases combined .Trauma disrupts more young lives and exacts a higher socioeconomic price than any other pediatric health-related issue in the industrialized world (Calan). More lives would be saved each year and more long-term disability prevented by the development of a successful treatment for traumatic brain injury (TBI: Calan) than from curing all childhood cancer. Despite this, trauma care receives only a small fraction of the public attention and research funding directed toward less important conditions. Each year more than 10,000 children and adolescents die of their injuries, and nearly 30,000 suffer permanent disability, most of which is neurologic (1: Calan ). Annually, one in four children receives medical care for an injury. The societal cost, in terms of both direct medical expenses for care and rehabilitation, lost productivity by care providers, and lost opportunities for socioeconomic contribution, is staggering.
