Crashes Top Spinal Cord Injury Causes
Feb. 21, 2007 -- Motor vehicle accidents are the top cause of spinal cord injury in kids, a new study shows.
The researchers urge kids to wear seatbelts to help prevent such injuries.
"Motor vehicle accidents are by far the No. 1 cause of pediatric spinal cord injury within the U.S., accounting for more than 55% of cases," write the researchers.
They add that nearly 70% of the children and teens who suffered spinal cord injury in auto accidents weren't wearing seatbelts when the accident happened.
The findings are based on two large national databases of hospital discharge records from 1997-2000.
Every year during that time, about 1,400 children and teens aged 0-18 years were admitted to U.S. hospitals for the treatment of spinal cord injury. That translates to nearly two children or teens with spinal cord injuries per 100,000.
Leading Causes of Kids' Spinal Cord Injury
The study was conducted by Michael Vitale, MD, PhD, and colleagues at Morgan Stanley Children's Hospital of New York-Presbyterian Columbia University Medical Center in New York.
The top causes of kids' spinal cord injury, according to Vitale's team, were:
Motor vehicle accidents: 56%
Falls: 14%
Firearm injury: 9%
Sports injury: 7%
Drugs and alcohol were involved in 82 cases (30%) of the pediatric spinal cord injuries noted in the study.
Boys at Higher Risk
Boys were more than twice as likely as girls to suffer spinal cord injury, the study also shows.
"This may be associated with the fact that boys participate in more violent contact sports (such as football) than girls during childhood, or that they are more likely to own or drive a car than their female peers," Vitale's team writes.
The study also shows that, for unknown reasons, black children "are at increased risk of spinal cord injury compared with other races," write the researchers.
Vitale's team stresses safety to help prevent spinal cord injury.
"Basic education on motor vehicle safety, the importance of seatbelts, driver awareness, and substance abuse could have significant impact on lowering a teenager's risk of serious injury, spinal cord injury, or death," the researchers write.

交通事故是儿童脊髓损伤的首要原因
Feb. 21, 2007 -- Motor vehicle accidents are the top cause of spinal cord injury in kids, a new study shows.
2007年，2月21日--一项最新的调查显示，在儿童中的脊髓损伤事故中的主要原因是机动车事故。
The researchers urge kids to wear seatbelts to help prevent such injuries.
研究者们告诫儿童系好安全带以阻止这类事故的发生。
"Motor vehicle accidents are by far the No. 1 cause of pediatric spinal cord injury within the U.S., accounting for more than 55% of cases," write the researchers.
研究者们写道，“在美国的儿童脊髓损伤事故中，机动车事故目前占到了首位，大约占到55%。”
They add that nearly 70% of the children and teens who suffered spinal cord injury in auto accidents weren't wearing seatbelts when the accident happened.
他们还说到在儿童和青少年的机动车事故导致的脊髓损伤中有将近70%是由于在事故发生时没有系安全带。
The findings are based on two large national databases of hospital discharge records from 1997-2000.
他们的结果是基于两个较大国立医院给出的从1997-2000年的事故记录。
Every year during that time, about 1,400 children and teens aged 0-18 years were admitted to U.S. hospitals for the treatment of spinal cord injury. That translates to nearly two children or teens with spinal cord injuries per 100,000.
在那期间，每年有1400名年龄在0-18岁的儿童和青少年住院接受脊髓损伤治疗。这就解释了在每100，000人中有两名儿童或青少年有过脊髓损伤事故的原因。
