Characteristics of pediatric hospitalization for eye injuries: 2001–2010.
Table 2.
Diagnoses of major pediatric eye injuries by age and gender.
Figure 1.
Frequencies of injury locales by gender.
The most common locales of pediatric eye injury were home (73.1%), school (9.8%), and road/street (7.0%). Male children (62%) were more prone to ocular trauma in all locales than female (38%) (P<0.05).
Figure 2.
Frequencies of major clinical diagnoses of eye injuries by locale.
Significant differences in the frequencies of major clinical diagnoses of eye injuries in home-related injuries were observed (61.4% open vs. 32.4% closed, 6.3% lacrimal apparatus/eyelid laceration vs. 1.9% chemical/thermal burn, P<0.001). Closed globe wounds were more frequent than open globe wounds in school- and road/street-related eye injuries (P<0.05).
