There is a paucity of published research regarding paediatric e\u2010scooter injuries in Australia. This study describes the admissions and severity of paediatric trauma secondary to e\u2010scooters at Queensland's largest paediatric trauma centre.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After obtaining ethics approval, a retrospective review of paediatric trauma related to e\u2010scooters was performed from the Queensland Children's Hospital Trauma Registry between January 2009 and September 2024. Patients included were those 16\u2009years and under admitted to the hospital for greater than 24\u2009h with injuries sustained from e\u2010scooters. Primary outcome measures were mortality rate, injury and operative characteristics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There were 64 paediatric patients with injuries related to e\u2010scooters. Males accounted for 76.6% of patients, with a median age of 13. Major injuries accounted for 29.7% of injuries. The head was the most common body region injured (51.6%), followed by lacerations and contusions (42.2%). Fractures were the most common injury type (78.1%). There were two deaths, both of children with traumatic brain injuries who were not wearing helmets. Of those 42 injured riders whose helmet status was documented, 64.3% were not wearing helmets. Surgery was required in 65.6% of patients, with 50.0% undergoing orthopaedic surgery, 28.3% requiring wound management and 28.6% requiring neurosurgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>E\u2010scooter trauma remains a topical area of public safety discussion.
