Epidemiological pattern of trauma among children 0–9 years in Cameroon

Abstract

This preliminary analysis highlights the burden of trauma among children aged 0-9 years and its contribution to the proportion of disabled persons in Cameroon. Leisure activities on the streets increased the number of pediatric injuries especially among males. It is therefore imperative to put in place or reinforce environmental interventions to reduce the burden of pediatric injuries.
