The greatest number of injuries occurred on Labor Day followed by Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Halloween. Children who were younger than 5 years sustained a greater proportion of injuries than other age groups. The face, finger\/hand, and head were the most commonly injured body parts. Lacerations, contusion\/abrasions, fractures, and sprain\/strains were the most common diagnoses. Overall, the majority of injuries that occurred on holidays were classified as sports and recreation\u2013related. In addition, home structure\u2013related and home furnishing\u2013related injuries were prevalent. Injuries that were associated with fireworks were more likely to occur on the Fourth of July than any other holiday, yet fireworks accounted for only a small proportion of Fourth of July injuries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n Most injuries that were sustained on holidays and required ED treatment were not holiday-specific but were associated with more general activities. Parents should be aware that holidays present a risk not only for holiday-specific injuries but also for more general, \u201ceveryday\u201d injuries.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2009-0307","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,4,6]],"date-time":"2010-04-06T00:15:32Z","timestamp":1270512932000},"page":"931-937","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":29,"title":["Epidemiology of Pediatric Holiday-Related Injuries Presenting to US Emergency Departments"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"125","author":[{"given":"Anthony","family":"D'Ippolito","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital, Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus, Ohio; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christy L.","family":"Collins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Institute at Nationwide Children's Hospital, Center for Injury Research and Policy, Columbus, Ohio; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"R.
