Ratios of overall and mechanism-specific injury incidence rates for Hispanic children relative to non-Hispanic white children were calculated using denominator estimates derived from U.S. Census Bureau population data. Hispanic children and non-Hispanic white children were also compared on several measures of severity of injury.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In 1995\u20131997, serious traumatic injuries were reported to the Registry for 231 Hispanic children aged \u2a7d19 years (rate: 54 per 100,000 person-years) and for 2,123 non-Hispanic white children (56 per 100,000 person-years), yielding an overall rate ratio (RR) of 1.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.8, 1.1). Motor vehicle crashes and falls accounted for one-third to one-half of the injuries for each group. Infants, children, and adolescents identified as Hispanic had higher rates of injuries related to hot objects (i.e., burns) (RR=2.3; 95% CI 1.3, 4.1), guns (RR=2.2; 95% CI 1.5 to 3.3), and being cut or pierced (RR=3.5; 95% CI 2.2 to 5.5). The Hispanic group had a lower injury rate for motor vehicle accidents (RR=0.7; 95% CI 0.5, 0.9). Mortality rates were similar (RR=1.1; 95% CI 0.7, 1.7). The mean length of hospital stay was 5.5 days for the Hispanic group and 8.8 days for the non-Hispanic white group (difference=3.3 days; 95% CI \u22120.7, 7.4).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study found little difference between Hispanic and non-Hispanic white infants, children, and adolescents in the burden of traumatic pediatric injury. However, burns, guns, drowning, and being pierced\/cut appeared to be particularly important mechanisms of injury for Hispanic children. More specific investigations targeted toward these injury types are needed to identify the underlying preventable risk factors involved.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/003335490512000105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,26]],"date-time":"2017-01-26T09:01:34Z","timestamp":1485421294000},"page":"19-24","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Severe Injury among Hispanic and Non-Hispanic White Children in Washington State"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"120","author":[{"given":"Catherine J.","family":"Karr","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Seattle, WA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Frederick P.","family":"Rivara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA"},{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Seattle, WA"},{"name":"Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, Seattle, WA"},{"name":"Harborview Injury Research & Prevention Center, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Cummings","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Epidemiology, University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine, Seattle, WA"},{"name":"Harborview Injury Research & Prevention Center, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-003335490512000105","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US), National Center for Injury Prevention and Control.
