OBJECTIVES We investigated socioeconomic disparities in injury hospitalization rates and severity-adjusted mortality for pediatric trauma. METHODS We used 10 years of pediatric trauma data from Sacramento County, Calif, to compare trauma hospitalization rates, trauma mechanism and severity, and standardized hospital mortality across socioeconomic strata (median household income, proportion of households in poverty, insurance). RESULTS Children from lower-socioeconomic status (SES…

Influence of socioeconomic status on trauma center performance evaluations in a Canadian trauma system.
The effect of insurance status, race, and gender on ED disposition of persons with traumatic brain injury.
Does insurance status matter at a public, level I trauma center?
TLDR
Despite being younger and less severely injured, uninsured trauma patients had a significantly higher mortality rate than insured counterparts, and warrants further investigation.
Socioeconomic status and non-fatal injuries among Canadian adolescents: variations across SES and injury measures
TLDR
Differences related to the measures of SES chosen and the causes of injury under study may both contribute to discrepancies in past research on SES and non-fatal injuries among adolescents.
Insurance status is a potent predictor of outcomes in both blunt and penetrating trauma.

The impact of neighborhood socioeconomic disparities on injury
TLDR
The INTR and the NPC were successfully linked providing individual and injury hospitalization data, and outcomes confirm the strong relationship between injury mechanism and NSEL.

TLDR
The results suggest the need for targeted injury prevention efforts among children from economically disadvantaged populations, although the exact requirements of the optimal prevention approach remain elusive.
Low-income neighborhoods and the risk of severe pediatric injury: a small-area analysis in northern Manhattan.
TLDR
The results illuminate the impact of socioeconomic disparities on child health and point to the need for injury prevention efforts targeting low-income neighborhoods.
The role of socioeconomic status and injury morbidity risk in adolescents.
TLDR
The results indicate that in this cohort of adolescents, socioeconomic status does not seem to be a contributing risk factor for injury.
Predictors of injury mortality in early childhood.
TLDR
For young children, maternal education, age, and parity are strongly and independently associated with injury mortality, suggesting that many injury deaths could be prevented.
Acutely injured patients with trauma in Massachusetts: differences in care and mortality, by insurance status.
TLDR
It is suggested that the uninsured receive less trauma-related care and have a higher mortality rate, and the excess mortality in uninsured patients may be avoided if their resource use is increased to that of insured patients.
Socioeconomic status and injury mortality: individual and neighbourhood determinants
TLDR
Social inequalities in injury mortality exist for both persons and places and policies or interventions aimed at preventing or controlling injuries should take into account not only the socioeconomic characteristics of people but also of the places in which they live.
The socio‐economic context of child injury in Australia
TLDR
It is apparent that residence in a low income area is a significant predictor of child injury in Australia, and a consistent pattern of moderately strong statistically significant associations was found between measures of disadvantage and injury rate at the postcode level of aggregation.

Racial and socioeconomic disparities in childhood mortality in Boston.
TLDR
The data suggest that despite access to tertiary medical services, substantial social differentiation in mortality may exist throughout childhood, and Equity in childhood survival will probably require policies that emphasize preventive goals.

TLDR
A negative linear association between socio-economic status and child injury mortality was found in the Sydney metropolitan area (P < 0.01), and this trend was most apparent for deaths of child pedestrians.
