Compared to older children, infants under age one are likely to have distinctive causation and injury patterns, as they are pre\u2010mobile or have limited independent mobility and falls are more directly the responsibility of the care giver. There is little known about the mechanistic factors, predictors of injury and injury patterns in this age group.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a retrospective review of infants under age one who presented after a fall to a paediatric trauma centre in Sydney, Australia. Circumstances and mechanisms of the fall, injury patterns, burden of investigations and outcomes were analysed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Over a 3\u2010year period (2011\u20132013), 916 infants presented following a fall. One hundred and six (11.6%) were admitted and there was one death. Head injury was the most common reason for admission (85%). While there were severe and critical head injuries (Abbreviated Injury Scale 4\u20135) these were infrequent (2% of presentations). All admitted cases involved a short distance fall. Patients dropped by others were three times more likely to be admitted than infants presenting following other fall types (95% <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">CI<\/jats:styled-content> 1.9\u20134.8). Compared to other mechanisms, patients who fell from furniture had significantly longer hospital stays.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fall mechanisms involving infants being dropped by adults, and falls from beds or couches carry the highest clinical burden. These mechanisms should be targets for injury prevention and inform the design of safe equipment and environments for babies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jpc.13568","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,27]],"date-time":"2017-06-27T04:50:42Z","timestamp":1498539042000},"page":"754-760","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Injury from falls in infants under one year"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"53","author":[{"given":"Christopher S","family":"Mulligan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Women's and Children's Health University of New South Wales  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Prince of Wales Clinical School University of New South Wales  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Sydney Children's Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Neuroscience Research Australia  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Susan","family":"Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Women's and Children's Health University of New South Wales  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Sydney Children's Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Neuroscience Research Australia  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitra","family":"Tzioumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Women's and Children's Health University of New South Wales  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Sydney Children's Hospital  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Julie","family":"Brown","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroscience Research Australia  Sydney New South Wales Australia"},{"name":"Medical Sciences University of New South Wales  Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,6,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.Leading Causes of Nonfatal Injury Reports 2000\u20132015.
