Males and females were affected equally, with a mean age around 9.8 years. Mortality rates varied but were lower than 16%, contingent on the severity of the disaster and the level of preparedness of the affected area.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Head injuries are one of the most prevalent pediatric injuries in disasters. However, there is limited evidence-based information regarding best strategies and care for children experiencing traumatic brain injuries in this context.
