The percentage of pediatric patients with serious injuries (ISS 16+) receiving definitive hospital care by level I-II pediatric designated services
Most major (ISS 16+) pediatric (age <15) trauma patients receive definitive care from level I – II
pediatric designated services (Department of Health Criteria, admitted patients only)

Some of This Decline in Pediatric Patient Volumes as well as the Mortality Could be Attributed to Washington’s Injury
Prevention Activities
Injury Prevention – Related State Laws
• Personal Flotation Devices/Life Jackets (1999): All people on a personal watercraft (PWC) and any person under 12 years of age on a vessel under 19 feet in length must wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket that fits the individual.
• Child Passenger Safety (2005): A child must be restrained in a child restraint system (rear-facing, forward-facing, or booster seat) until the child is 8 years old, unless the child is four feet nine inches tall or taller. Children under 13 years of age shall be transported in the back seat where it is practical to do so.
• Zach Lystedt Law (2009): A youth athlete suspected of sustaining a concussion or head injury in a practice or game shall be removed from play or competition at that time. The youth removed may not return to play until he or she is evaluated by a licensed health care provider who is trained in the evaluation and management of concussion, and receives written clearance to return to play.

In summary
• After the implementation of Washington’s Trauma System, outcomes of pediatric (age <15) trauma improved significantly.
• This suggests effectiveness of coordinated trauma care efforts in this age group.
• Two major coordinated efforts took place. – Injury prevention resulted in a relative decline in pediatric
volumes in recent years. – Better trauma care resulted in a decline in pediatric
inpatient mortality.
• Despite all these improvements, TBIs are still the main cause of pediatric deaths, and rising pediatric window-balcony falls in ages 1-6 is a concern.
