In the U.S., overall pediatric injuries decreased, but with rises in specific cases such as burns and penetrating injuries.6 The full extent of the pandemic’s impact on pediatric ED visits remains unclear, necessitating accu- rate analysis for timely diagnosis and treatment.1,6,8 Pandemic- related factors like lockdowns and reduced ED visits may have influenced trauma risk and attendance rates.9-11 This study aims to evaluate changes in ED attendances for pediatric trauma during pre- and post-pandemic periods to inform health policy and child safety strategies.	cache/ecj-12965.pdf	txt/ecj-12965.txt
