Injuries From Electric Bicycles and Scooters Managed in Pediatric Health Systems.

Pediatric health systems show injury patterns from electric micromobility devices that are compared against nonmotorized devices using a pediatric database, focusing on trends, rates, and severity.

• Why it matters: Electric bicycles and scooters are increasingly used, but pediatric injury burden and how it differs from nonmotorized devices is unclear.
• What they did: The study analyzed a pediatric database to compare recent trends, injury rates, and injury severity between electric micromobility devices and nonmotorized devices.
• The result: The analysis provides a pediatric-system view of how injuries from electric micromobility devices relate to those from nonmotorized devices in trends, rates, and severity.
