Cover Story: This study examined the characteristics, incidence, temporal trends, and seasonality of children aged ≤15 years who presented with injury to the Emergency Department (ED) at a large paediatric hospital in Australia from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2019. There were 134,484 ED presentations during the ten-year study period, of which 17.3% were admitted to hospital. Head injury accounted for 26.8% of ED presentations. There was a significant increase in the annual incidence of ED presentations during the ten-year period. The monthly incidence of ED presentations had a bimodal distribution with peaks during autumn and spring seasons, and the daily incidence of ED presentations was higher on weekends than weekdays. These data will inform health resource planning and priority-setting and advocacy for child injury prevention in Australia. View this paper
