AB  - Children  follow  different  patterns  of  injury  than  adults.Commonly  used  scoring  systems  have  decreased  predictive  power  in  injured  children  because,  among  other  problems,  few  systems  take  into  account  size-based  differences  in  pediatric  physiology.Despite  these  problems,  scoring  systems  decrease  subjective  evaluation  of  trauma,  and  therefore  play  a  critical  role  in  pediatric  trauma  research  and  quality  improvement  (QI).Injury  prevention  is  a  key  component  of  any  trauma  system  and  trauma  center.  The  priorities  for  prevention  initiatives  are  best  decided  at  the  community  level  based  on  measured  needs.
