Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the number of days missed from school after children attended one of three local emergency departments (EDs) with minor injuries. Minor injuries were defined as those not requiring hospital admission and not affecting mobility/ability of the child to care for herself. This case-control study involved children resident in, and attending school full time in the Welsh counties of Swansea and Neath Port Talbot in the autumn term of 1999.
