Each incident report was analyzed for impalement, facial laceration, and contusion injuries to the mouth, face, and head. In addition, hospital disposition and location of the described incident were also obtained.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Upon review of the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, incident rates of pediatric oral impalement (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.10\u20100.41), facial laceration (95% CI, 0.22\u20100.41), and facial abrasion injuries (95% CI, 0.15\u20100.44) frequently involved the metal clothing hanger design. In addition, most of the reported injuries occurred within the home and involved lacerations to the oral cavity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This is the first multiyear, nationally representative study to analyze clothing hanger injuries in the pediatric population. We demonstrate that these injuries occur more frequently than the medical literature currently reports and also elucidate that children are more likely to obtain laceration injuries by metal clothing hangers within the home. Furthermore, we provide a recommendation for standardization of the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System such that product safety analysis may occur and reduce further pediatric incidents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/0194599813514521","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,6]],"date-time":"2013-12-06T23:21:35Z","timestamp":1386372095000},"page":"300-304","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Clothing Hanger Injuries: Pediatric Head and Neck Traumas in the United States, 2002\u20102012"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"150","author":[{"given":"Andrew","family":"Walls","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgetown University School of Medicine Washington, DC USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew","family":"Pierce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head &amp; Neck Surgery Georgetown University Hospital Washington, DC USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongkun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgetown University Medical Center Department of Biostatistics Washington, DC USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"suffix":"Jr","given":"Earl H.","family":"Harley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgetown University School of Medicine Washington, DC USA"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology\u2013Head &amp; Neck Surgery and Pediatrics Georgetown University Hospital Washington, DC USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijporl.2012.01.038"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1556-4029.2008.00820.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","first-page":"735","article-title":"Coat hanger tip injury","volume":"17","author":"Moustafa MH","year":"1999","journal-title":"J Emerg Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","unstructured":"SchroederT AultK.The NEISS sample (design and implementation) 1997 to present(June2001).http:\/\/www.cpsc.gov\/neiss\/2001d011\u20106b6.pdf.
