Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate disparities in skeletal survey (SS) use for pediatric. head injury patients in the emergency department (ED). This was a multi-site retrospective. cohort study of children <24 months with concern for head injury and injury on head CT from. 7/1/12 – 1/1/22. We determined adjusted associations between SS completion and race, ethnicity, language for care, insurance type, and income, with sub-analysis of children <6 months and with complex injury. We evaluated occult fracture prevalence. Two-hundred seventy children met criteria and 88 had SS. No statistical association was found between skeletal survey completion and race or ethnicity, language for care, private insurance, median census tract income, or in sub-analyses. Two of 88 (2.3%) patients had occult fracture; both had risk factors for NAT. In conclusion, no statistical association was found between SS completion and demographics. Occult fracture was uncommon. SS use can likely be decreased in lower risk patients.
