dc.description.abstractObjective: In this study we aimed to evaluate and analyse demographic features, presentations characteristics, and management approaches in paediatric forensic cases presenting to an emergency department.Materials and Methods: A total of 518 children aged between 0-18 years, who presented to the emergency department of hospital between 2011 and 2020 due to traffic accidents, falls and violence, were included. Demographic information such as age, gender, reason for admission, time of admission, diagnosis, body region of the injury, and consultation and treatment results were included in the study.Results: The median age was 12 years and 67.6% were boys. The median age was significantly lower in the patients who presented due to falls. The patients most presented to the emergency department in the summer months (August) and on Saturdays. The most diagnosis was in soft tissue injury (STI) (50.6%), followed by bone fracture / dislocation injury (42.1%). STI was higher in the violence group compared to others. The most injured body part was the head/neck region (37.8%). The most consulted department was neurosurgery (39.4%). The mortality rate was 4.4%.Conclusion: For emergency specialists, it is important to have sufficient information about demographic and clinical features of paediatric forensic patients for a more efficient physical examination and management.  en_US
