The authors describe these injuries and the cost incurred by them.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>In a single-institution retrospective review, all children treated for a television-related injury at LeBonheur Children's Hospital, a Level I pediatric trauma center, between 2009 and 2013 were identified through the institution's trauma registry. The type, mechanism, and severity of cranial injuries, surgical interventions, outcome, and costs were examined.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Twenty-six patients were treated for a television-related injury during the study period. Most injuries (22 cases, 85%) occurred in children aged 2\u20134 years (mean age 3.3 years), and 19 (73%) of the 26 patients were male. Head injuries occurred in 20 patients (77%); these injuries ranged from concussion to skull fractures and subdural, subarachnoid, and intraparenchymal hemorrhages. The average Glasgow Coma Scale score on admission was 12 (range 7\u201315), and 3 patients (12%) had neurological deficits. Surgical intervention was required in 5 cases (19%). The majority of patients made a full recovery. There were no deaths. The total cost for television-related injuries was $1.4 million, with an average cost of $53,893 per accident.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A high occurrence of head injuries was seen following television-related accidents in young children. This injury is ideal for a public education campaign targeting parents, health care workers, and television manufacturers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2014.7.peds1433","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,8,1]],"date-time":"2014-08-01T13:58:13Z","timestamp":1406901493000},"page":"414-417","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Head injuries following television-related accidents in the pediatric population"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Adam Ross","family":"Befeler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David J.","family":"Daniels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susan A.","family":"Helms","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Le Bonheur Children's Hospital; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Klimo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center;"},{"name":"Le Bonheur Children's Hospital; and"},{"name":"Semmes-Murphey Neurologic and Spine Institute, Memphis, Tennessee"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Frederick","family":"Boop","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Tennessee Health Science Center;"},{"name":"Le Bonheur Children's Hospital; and"},{"name":"Semmes-Murphey Neurologic and Spine Institute, Memphis, Tennessee"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"key":"b1-peds1433","series-title":"Pediatrics","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"E32","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.102.3.e32","article-title":"Toppled television sets cause significant pediatric morbidity and mortality","volume":"102","author":"Bernard","year":"1998"},{"key":"b2-peds1433","series-title":"Pediatrics","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"267","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2013-1086","article-title":"Television-related injuries to children in the United States, 1990\u20132011","volume":"132","author":"De Roo","year":"2013"},{"key":"b3-peds1433","series-title":"Pediatrics","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e316","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2004-1585","article-title":"National hospitalization impact of pediatric all-terrain vehicle injuries","volume":"115","author":"Killingsworth","year":"2005"},{"key":"b4-peds1433","series-title":"J Pediatr Orthop","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"847","DOI":"10.1097\/BPO.0b013e3181c1e2fa","article-title":"Motocross morbidity: economic cost and injury distribution in children","volume":"29","author":"Larson","year":"2009"},{"key":"b5-peds1433","series-title":"Pediatr Emerg Care","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"52","DOI":"10.1097\/PEC.0b013e31823f2541","article-title":"Craniofacial injuries from television tip-over","volume":"28","author":"Mu\u00f1iz","year":"2012"},{"key":"b6-peds1433","series-title":"J Forensic Sci","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1364","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1556-4029.2011.01770.x","article-title":"TV tip-over morbidity and mortality in children","volume":"56","author":"Platt","year":"2011"},{"key":"b7-peds1433","series-title":"Inj Prev","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"316","DOI":"10.1136\/ip.2007.016048","article-title":"Pediatric hospitalizations for bicycle-related injuries","volume":"13","author":"Shah","year":"2007"},{"key":"b8-peds1433","series-title":"Indian J Pediatr","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"459","DOI":"10.1007\/s12098-010-0013-5","article-title":"Head injuries in children resulting from the fall of television","volume":"77","author":"Suresh","year":"2010"},{"key":"b9-peds1433","series-title":"Memphis (city), Tennessee.
