The goals were to describe the epidemiological features of pediatric nonautomobile motorized vehicle\u2013related injuries sustained between 1990 and 2003 and to compare all-terrain vehicle\u2013related injuries with other types of nonautomobile motorized vehicle\u2013related injuries.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>METHODS. An analysis of nationally representative pediatric nonautomobile motorized vehicle\u2013related injury data from the US Consumer Product Safety Commission National Electronic Injury Surveillance System was performed.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>RESULTS. Nationally, an estimated 1203800 children were treated in hospital emergency departments for nonautomobile motorized vehicle\u2013related injuries between 1990 and 2003. These children had a mean age of 12.7 years (range: 1 month to 19 years), and 77.0% were male. The majority of injuries were associated with all-terrain vehicles (44.8%), 2-wheeled off-road vehicles (21.1%), and go-carts\/buggies (13.7%). The most common diagnoses were contusions\/abrasions (28.3%), fractures (24.2%), and lacerations (20.0%). Overall, the number of injuries increased 86% from 70500 injuries in 1990 to 130900 injuries in 2003. The numbers of all-terrain vehicle\u2013related, 2-wheeled off-road vehicle\u2013related, 2-wheeled on-road vehicle\u2013related, and go-cart\/buggy-related injuries all increased significantly from 1990 to 2003. There were greater proportions of all-terrain vehicle-associated injuries among children \u226516 years of age (48.0%) and children 12 to 15 years of age (46.6%) than among children &amp;lt;12 years of age (40.3%). Conversely, the proportion of other nonautomobile motorized vehicle\u2013related injuries among children &amp;lt;12 years of age (47.2%) was greater than that among children 12 to 15 years of age (30.3%) and children \u226516 years of age (23.0%).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>CONCLUSIONS. Although most public health and legislative attention to date has been focused on all-terrain vehicles, parents, children, and public officials should be educated about the injury risk that all types of nonautomobile motorized vehicles pose to children.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2006-3612","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,7,2]],"date-time":"2007-07-02T16:35:25Z","timestamp":1183394125000},"page":"134-141","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Children Plus All Nonautomobile Motorized Vehicles (Not Just All-Terrain Vehicles) Equals Injuries"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"120","author":[{"given":"Christy L.","family":"Collins","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus Children's Research Institute, Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gary A.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus Children's Research Institute, Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Colleges of Medicine and Public Health, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"R.
