Authors: Ruiz María José , Bermejo Rosario , Ferrando Mercedes , Prieto M. D. , Sáinz Marta
Published: February 2018

Introducción. El rendimiento académico suele ser explicado en gran parte por la inteligencia de los alumnos, aunque otros factores, como la personalidad y la motivación, también contribuyen a su explicación. En la adolescencia otros factores asociados a un pensamiento más complejo comienzan a tomar importancia. Estas formas de pensamiento se corresponden con el pensamiento científico, el crítico, el creativo. Este artículo analiza la convergencia de variables psicológicas de índole cognitiva en la explicación del rendimiento académico de los alumnos de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria.Método. Se han tomado alumnos de 2º y 4º curso de un centro educativo de la Región de Murcia, España (n=98) y se ha aplicado un test de inteligencia (IGF/5r) y un test de pensamiento científico-creativo (TPCC), también se recogieron las calificaciones facilitadas por los profesores para todas las áreas académicas. Se agruparon las disciplinas y el rendimiento en tres áreas: Científico-Matemática, Lingüístico-Social y Artística.Resultados. Los resultados del análisis de regresión muestran una contribución complementaria del TPCC en la predicción del rendimiento académico de los alumnos en las tres áreas curriculares, siendo la predicción más importante en el área Artística. En las áreas Científico-Matemática y Lingüística-Social, es más decisivo el test de inteligencia, en particular el razonamiento numérico. Estos análisis se repitieron dividiendo a la muestra según el curso académico.Discusión y conclusiones. Los resultados encontrados en dichos análisis sugieren que avanzando en la escolaridad otras variables cognitivas, pero diferentes de la inteligencia psicométrica más clásica, acaban siendo importantes en la explicación del rendimiento académico de los alumnos, destacándose finalmente algunas implicaciones psico-educativas importantes.
Assessments of intellectually gifted students with(out) characteristic(s) of ASD: An explorative evaluation among diagnosticians in various psycho-educational organisations
Authors: Burger-Veltmeijer Agnes E. J. , Minnaert Alexander E. M. G. , Van den Bosch Els J.
Published: February 2018

Recently, Burger-Veltmeijer, Minnaert & Van den Bosch (2014) constructed a conceptual framework, called the Strengths and Weaknesses Heuristic (S&W Heuristic) which might provide systematicity and coherence in research as well as psycho-educational praxis, regarding assessments of Intellectually Gifted (IG) students with (suspicion of) Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). In this contribution it was evaluated whether assessments in psychoeducational practice were consistent with the theoretical principles of the S&W Heuristic. The results indicated the possibility of missed signals of ASD-characteristics among IG-students as well as a trend that a rather large number of the assessments of IG students with(out) characteristics of ASD might not be arranged in a systematic dimensional needs-based way, according to the basic principles of the S&W Heuristic. These findings suggest either the necessity of optimisation of assessments trajectories in psycho-educational practice, or the necessity of optimisation of the S&W Heuristic itself.

Published: February 2018

The authors present the case of a 58-year-old female patient with a history of multiple episodes of acute dacryocistitis, treated by irrigation of the lacrimal punctum. She is admitted to our clinic for swelling of the lacrimal sac and mucopurulent discharge on applying pressure over the lacrimal sac. In spite of several irrigations, patients’ symptoms persisted and thus surgical treatment was decided. We performed a dacryocystorhinostomy with a lacrimal stent which was inserted by endonasal approach to reestablish the nasolacrimal connection. The patient didn’t require nasal packing and was discharged three days after surgery.

Functional endoscopic sinus surgery gained increasing popularity among otolaryngologists in the last decades. During any endoscopic sinonasal surgery the major limiting factors are its complex anatomy and the high vascularity. Often, even a small hemorrage is sufficient to reduce visibility of the operating field. From the surgical perspective, there are novel technologies that reduce bleeding, thus, improving the visualization of the operating field. We present some methods of hemostasis used in endoscopic sinus surgery

Authors: Gheorghiu Irina-Maria , Perlea Paula , Iliescu Alexandru A , Mitran Loredana
Published: February 2018

This paper reviews the literature on the current concept of the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis. This is an important issue because without adequate endodontic treatment, the infection of the root canal and periradicular tissue may result in loss of supporting apical periodontium and increases the possibility of tooth extraction.

Published: February 2018

In the current medical practice, nasal congestion is one of the most frequent symptoms that bring the patients at doctor. One of the most common causes of chronic nasal obstruction is inferior turbinate hypertrophy. Surgical therapy is reserved for those patients who remain symptomatic despite proper medical therapy. The authors bring into question a number of procedures and surgical techniques addressed to the inferior turbinate hypertrophy, choosing one or another depending on the surgeon’s personal experience, the existing pathology and, not at least, the patient’s wish.

The authors present three cases that required emergency admission for rapidly aggravating dyspnoea and severely impaired deglutition of sudden onset in patients treated with Coumarin derivatives, and/or antiplatelets for potential risk of thrombotic vascular events. The problems in establishing a diagnosis and differential diagnosis, the complexity of emergency therapy and the management of medication during hemostasis  required a multidisciplinary team of specialists in ENT, Intensive Care, Cardiology, Imaging and Laboratory Medicine. The article highlights the ENT emergency management issues in these cases with a complex pathological background, which have in common the necessity to offer assistance and secure breathing for pharyngolaryngeal dyspnoea.
Particularities of tinnitus in children and adolescents
Authors: Boloș Alexandra , Cozma Sebastian , Szalontay Andreea Silvana
Published: February 2018

Tinnitus is a common otologic symptom and probably the most troublesome. Tinnitus causes a number of physical and psychological consequences, that interfere with the quality of life of the patient. Many authors believe that the presence of tinnitus in children is a matter of lesser importance than in adults because it is met less frequently and would be a fleeting symptom, inoffensive for them (Graham, 1981). In addition, the prevalence of tinnitus during adolescence and even in young adults is increasing, possibly as a consequence of the increased ambient noise (Bulbul SF, Shargorodsky J). Various therapeutic approaches have generated different results, which led us to consider the role of psychological factors, hence the need to underline the particularities of this symptom in childhood.
The impact of hearing loss
Authors: Georgescu Mădălina , Necula Violeta , Cozma Sebastian
Published: February 2018

Hearing loss represents a frequently met sensorial handicap, which has a major and complex impact not only on the hearing-impaired person, but also on his family and society. The large number of hard-of-hearing persons justifies the acknowledgement of hearing loss as a public health issue, which oblige to appropriate health politics, to offer each hearing-impaired person health services like those in Europe. These can be obtained through: appropriate legislation for mandatory universal newborn hearing screening; national program for follow-up of hearing-impaired children up to school age; national register of hard-of-hearing persons; smooth access to rehabilitation methods; appropriate number of audiologists, trained for health services at European standards, trained through public programs of education in the field of audiology.

Supremo Tribunal Federal: Aprimoramento das Funções da Justiça e Good Governance
Authors: Bochenek Antonio César , Dalazoana Vinicius
Published: February 2018

Os sistemas judiciais, no Brasil e em todo o mundo, estão passando por grandes modificações nas últimas décadas. No Brasil, de modo especial após a Constituição Federal de 1988, verifica-se um importante aumento da judicialização das relações sociais e da política. Além disso, a função judicial tem hoje uma relevante relação com as funções administrativas dos tribunais. Assim, uma satisfatória prestação jurisdicional requer também boas práticas administrativas. Nesse sentido, aumenta progressivamente o número de estudos sobre conceitos e técnicas de “good governance” nos assuntos públicos. Nesse artigo, sustenta-se que a nova compreensão

do modelo de justiça necessita da implementação de técnicas e práticas de good governance nos tribunais, principalmente relacionadas às ideias de responsabilidade, transparência, participação, eficácia, eficiência e coerência.

O FILTRO OCULTO DE REPERCUSSÃO GERAL: COMO O OBSCURECIMENTO DOS JUÍZOS DE RELEVÂNCIA CONTRIBUI PARA A CRISE DO STF
Authors: Montedonio Rego Frederico
Published: February 2018

O trabalho procura demonstrar que o Supremo Tribunal Federal utiliza uma espécie de “filtro oculto de relevância”, pelo qual os Ministros da Corte rejeitam casos monocraticamente por não considerá-los importantes, embora sem admiti-lo de forma expressa e sem utilizar os mecanismos formais existentes para tal fim. Isto se dá basicamente por duas razões: (a) o entendimento de que a ausência de repercussão geral recai apenas sobre teses jurídicas, e não sobre casos concretos; e (b) o elevado quórum de dois terços para a negativa formal de repercussão geral. Assim, o Tribunal obscurece a distinção entre o juízo sobre o caráter jurídico-constitucional das controvérsias e o juízo sobre a sua relevância. Isso gera inconsistências demonstráveis pela constatação de que várias matérias reiteradamente tidas como não constitucionais passam a ser vistas como constitucionais, ainda que sem alteração normativa, quando os Ministros, por alguma razão, começam a reputá-las relevantes. Tal forma de trabalho está na raiz da crise de funcionalidade da Corte: em verdade, ela sacrifica a transparência, a coerência e a qualidade das decisões do STF, além de torná-lo ainda mais assoberbado, já que tal sistemática acaba apenas por retroalimentar a litigiosidade, gerando incentivos e pretextos para a interposição incessante de recursos.
Estimating sex‐ratio, survival, and harvest susceptibility in greater sage‐grouse: making the most of hunter harvests
Authors: Hagen Christian A. , Sedinger James E. , Braun Clait E.
Published: February 2018

We analyzed banding (3259) and recovery (six years) data from a hunted population of greater sage‐grouseCentrocercusurophasianusin northwestern Moffat County, Colorado to examine vulnerability to hunter harvests and annual survival of adult and hatch‐year (juvenile) birds. Additionally, we combined the recovery data with hunter‐harvested wings and applied the Lincoln estimator to provide unbiased estimates of tertiary sex‐ratio. Our results yielded the following findings: juveniles were harvested at twice the rate of adults, but harvest vulnerability was similar between adult males and females. Annual survival of juveniles was highly variable but similar between sexes. Sex ratios of adults and juveniles largely conformed to previously assumed proportions despite having adjusted those estimates with harvest rates. We suggest there is potential to effectively model populations of game birds using a combination of band recovery and hunter‐harvested samples of species that can be readily captured, marked and have reasonable harvest rates.
Seasonal dynamics of forage for red deer in temperate forests: importance of the habitat properties, stand development stage and overstorey dynamics
Authors: Smolko Peter , Veselovská Alexandra , Kropil Rudolf
Published: February 2018

The recent increase of red deer Cervus elaphus population and consequent damage caused by their herbivory impact increasingly concern foresters and farmers in Slovakia as well as in other European countries. Thus, the topic of vegetation—deer interactions with focus on forage production is especially relevant for developing adequate management guidelines. Using data from 320 sampling plots, we estimated the overall availability of all forage items seasonally consumed by red deer in commercial temperate forests and identified the main factors affecting forage availability in summer and winter. We found that cutblocks were the most productive habitats throughout the year irrespective of the site quality. Summer forage biomass peaked at ≈8 years and winter forage biomass at ≈10 years following felling, then slowly declined as the cutblocks aged and the canopy increased. Understorey vegetation production in mature forests was determined primarily by light availability, as the major driving factor of vegetation growth in the closed‐canopy forest ecosystems, and to a lesser extent by a site quality. We suggest that the site quality index that is traditionally used in forestry is not an efficient predictor of the forage availability for red deer, and estimations of the forage potential of hunting grounds should incorporate more complex models to evaluate carrying capacity of the landscape.
LANGUAGE CHOICE IN MULTILINGUAL CONTEXT: THE USE OF L1 IN THE HOSPITALITY ENGLISH COURSES
Authors: Marsakawati Ni Putu Era
Published: February 2018

The present study presents the perception of lecturers on the use of the first language in the foreign language classroom, particularly in a tourism vocational institution in a multilingual context. The participants were 2 lecturers teaching Hospitality English: one lecturer was teaching English for Front Office and one lecturer was teaching English for Food and Beverage. The data were collected through administering questionnaire and interview. The obtained data were analyzed qualitatively. The results show that lecturers perceived the use of the first language as positive and part of learning process. They used the first language mainly as a pedagogical device for clarification, for establishing rapport, saving time, and discipline. The findings might have significant implications for EFL language teachers regarding the facilitative effects of L1 use in the foreign language classrooms. The EFL teachers need to consider the EFL classroom context as a multilingual social space in which teachers and students take advantage of dynamic, creative and pedagogically effective use of both the target language and the learners. �Keywords: first language use, lecturers �perspective, multilingual context

Authors: Ishak Mohd Faisal Farish , Rahamat Rashidah , Haris Fadzilah Muhammad Hazrul , Abu Abdul Ghani
Published: February 2018

The purpose of this paper is to explore teachers� acceptance and readiness in using the cloud-based community as a platform for professional collaboration related to their teaching and learning. Familiarity with certain social networking platforms has made the preferable collaboration among teachers only limited to using Facebook, WhatsApp or Telegram. However, with time and space constraints in schools, some of the sharing sessions could not be done effectively most of the time. The study focuses on teachers� acceptance and readiness of having their community in the cloud when they were introduced to the platform during a Continuous Professional Development (CPD) course. A total number of 61 teachers used Google Community named as �Contemporary Children�s Literature (CCL) 2016� as a platform for their Professional Learning Community (PLC) during the course. Descriptive analysis was done using Google Sheets and the findings show that these teachers are receptive towards Google Community in terms of its engagement level, usefulness as well as ease of use. The introduction to Google Community has created a new pathway for their collaboration especially for teaching and learning purposes. In a nutshell, their acceptance towards the cloud-based community indicates that, given the right training channel, teachers are positive and opened to utilising and integrating the cloud-based technology in their current teaching practice.
MOTIVATING ENGLISH TEACHERS BASED ON THE BASIC NEEDS THEORY AND AN EXPECTANCY THEORY
Authors: Sholihah Hidayatus
Published: February 2018

There are two main motivation theories. a hierarchy of basic needs theory,� and an expectancy theory. In a Hyrarchy of basic needs theory, Maslow has stated that the basic needs as a main behaviour direction are structured into a hierarchy. There are five basic human needs.� The first: Physiological needs such as: salary, bonus or working condition. The second: the safety needs, such as: safe job environment, job security or health cover. The third, social needs, such as �union and team work. The next is self esteem, such as getting an award, medal, certificate or any other recognisition. Then the last is self actualization, for example is by providing an opportunity to share knowledge, skills and eprerience. The evaluation of this theory are: there is no spiritual needs as human basic needs is a main weakness of this theory. Then it is possible that different level of� needs� have to be satisfied in the same time, or not in hierarchy level or, not always have to be fulfilled in order. The next motivation theory is an Expectancy Theory. This theory is based on three main factors. The first factor is: English teachers will be motivated to work harder if they have a good perception to their own competences in accordance with their job. The second, individual motivation depends on the rewards given when they finish a� particular job. Finally, it also depends on their regards to the rewards given from the job that they do. Expectancy theory is a good theory, however, it is not easy to be implemented because the principals should provide various types of reward to satisfy the expectation of their English teachers. Considering the strengths and weaknesses of these two theories, it is better to combine both of them in the practice to get more effective results.

Published: February 2018

This study examines the role of trust to moderate the relationship between deterrence factors and taxpayer compliance behavior. Their compalince on tax regulation is hypothesized to be determined by three factors i.e. tax audit, tax fine and trust in tax authorities. Economics-of-crime approach predicts that the higher probability of tax audit and tax fine will enhance tax compliance. According to slippery slope theory, the positive relation of tax compliance and its deterrence factors might be stronger if tax payer has a higher trust in legal and taxation system. The field experiment is designed by 2x2x2 between subjects. The participants comprise of 80 personal tax payers in Semarang City. Using ANOVA as statistical analysis, this reseach suggested that tax compliance is more likey to be effectively affected by trust in tax authorities rather than deterrence factor. However, according to univariate analysis, tax audit and tax fine are still important determinants of tax compliance.

Background: Obesity and periodontal diseases are two highly prevalent chronic conditions in Indonesia. Both obesity and periodontitis have been recognized as a major risk factor for a number of systemic diseases. Obesity related to the etiology and progression of periodontal disease was well known, but a recent study describes the role of periodontitis to obesity.Purpose: The aim of this article to explain possible bidirectional relationship of periodontitis and obesity, so that dental practitioners may play an important role in management both obesity and periodontal disease.Literature review: The concept of infectobesity refers to obesity of infectious origin was accepted for the possible role of oral bacteria in the development of obesity. Excessive storage of adipose tissue in obese individuals leads to the release of adipokines which produce inflammatory. Relentless release of pro-inflammatory cytokines into the systemic circulation from adipose tissue in obese individuals and periodontal bacteria and its product provides a systemic inflammatory overload and may be a reservoir for bidirectional relationship of periodontitis and obesity. Maintaining good oral health is also fundamental for obese individuals. Dental practitioners should play important role in managements by educate their obese patients and refer the patient to physician and dietitian for a proper maintaining obesity.Conc1usion: There is a bidirectional relationship between obesity ang periodontal disease.

The frequencies of the PvuII and XbaI gene polymorphisms were PP 41,2%, Pp 26,5%, pp 32,4% and XX 35,3%, Xx 17,6%, xx 47,1% respectively. CD4+ T-cell counts were significantly associated with XbaI polymorphisms (p<0.05), but not PvuII polymorphisms (p>0.01).Discussion: Host genetic factor polymorphism is an important determinant of HIV  disease progression and treatment response. The ERα Pvull and Xbal polymorphisms can increase risk for the development of HIV-related complication,including oral diseases.Conclusion: The ERα gene XbaI polymorphism was significantly associated with CD4+ T-cell counts. It may explain the role of estrogen in the regulation of HIV replication. Studying human genetic variation in HIV-infected individuals is important to guide a new therapeutic approach.

This article is a report of Community Service Program aiming at giving understanding and learning experience to the second grade students at SMKN 4 Banjarmasin in using English for tourism. The object of this program is 30 students of Tourism major. One day training program is carried out in form of practicing directly, doing the demonstration, simulation, and role play in the group. Furthermore, there are four topics to discuss as the material of this program, such as: using some expressions, information, and communication in English under tourism aspect. Generally, this program is well done. The students show their enthusiasm and demonstrate the activity successfully. There are still mistakes they have done in using grammar and pronouncing some English words. However, they show their best efforts running with the material given. Besides that, the majority of them are unfamiliar with the specific terms used in English for tourism so that they need to be guided in understanding the meaning of it. At the end of this program, the students are expected to have a learning experience and have the mastery to communicate using foreign language in the future. It will become essential knowledge to challenge in the job market globally.Keywords: Training, English, and tourism ABSTRAKArtikel ini merupakan hasil dari kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat yang bertujuan untuk memberikan pemahaman dan pengalaman belajar kepada siswa-siswi kelas XI Program Keahlian Usaha Perjalanan Wisata yang ada di SMKN 4 Banjarmasin dalam menggunakan Bahasa Inggris untuk pariwisata. Peserta kegiatan ini berjumlah 30 orang siswa. Kegiatan dilaksanakan dalam jangka waktu 1 hari dengan metode praktik secara langsung, demonstrasi, simulasi, dan bermain peran secara berkelompok. Sebanyak empat materi disajikan mengenai beberapa ungkapan, informasi, dan praktik komunikasi dalam Bahasa Inggris yang umum dan lazim digunakan dalam bidang pariwisata. Secara keseluruhan, kegiatan ini berjalan dengan baik. Siswa mampu mengikuti dan menampilkan demonstrasi secara langsung terkait materi yang diberikan. Walaupun masih terjadi banyak kesalahan dalam hal tata bahasa (grammar) dan pengucapan (pronunciation) Bahasa Inggris, siswa mampu menunjukkan usaha untuk memahami materi. Akan tetapi, mayoritas siswa masih belum familiar dengan kosakata-kosakata Bahasa Inggris tertentu dan spesifik berkaitan dengan kepariwisataan, sehingga perlu pendampingan untuk mengenal jenis kosakata-kosakata tersebut. Di akhir kegiatan, siswa diharapkan mendapatkan pengalaman belajar yang akan menjadi salah satu modal bagi mereka untuk ikut bersaing di dunia kerja yang secara global menuntut kecakapan berkomunikasi dalam bahasa asing.Kata Kunci: Pelatihan, Bahasa Inggris, pariwisata
Another Theology Is Possible: Exploring Decolonial Pathways
Authors: Cormie Lee
Published: February 2018

This paper is written from the perspective of a theologian in the global North with decades-long engagement with the “new” voices of the Global South. In this paper, I address questions that unfold differently in different contexts but that, ultimately, are shared by all concerning the future of life on planet Earth, the role of humanity in (mis)shaping it, and the shifting horizons of hope and faith. In looking for resources to illumine this divided and rapidly changing world, I focus in particular on Latin American decolonial thinking, less on the thinkers themselves in their own contexts with their own internal debates and more on points of reference for further theological and ethical dialogue. In particular, I wish to (1) sketch the historical context that gave birth to this movement; (2) note defining insights that resonate with liberation theological concerns in drawing new maps of the world and promising paths forward; (3) in particular, in light of expanding awareness of the epistemic violence at the heart of “modern” Eurocentric and American-centric projects for global order since the sixteenth century, point to new epistemological openings for hope and faith; and (4), in conclusion, insist that in historically unprecedented ways “religious” questions—and our responses to them—lie at the heart of the struggles over the future.
Riding alone on the elevator

The ability to conduct interdisciplinary research is crucial to address
complex real-world problems that require the collaboration of different
scientific fields, with global warming being a case in point.
To produce integrated climate-related knowledge, climate researchers
should be trained early on to work across boundaries and gain
an understanding of diverse disciplinary perspectives. This article
argues for social breaching as a methodology to introduce students
with a natural science background to the social sciences in the
context of integrated climate sciences. The breach of a social norm
presented here was to ask people whether the experimenter could
ride on an elevator alone. We conclude that the approach is effective
in letting students with a natural science background explore and
experience the power of social reality, and is especially suitable for
a small-sized introductory class.
Teaching globalisation in the social sciences
Authors: George Stacy Keogh
Published: February 2018

This article describes the incorporation of a refugee simulation into an upper-division sociology course on globalisation at a liberal arts institution in the United States. The simulation is designed to inform students of the refugee process in the United States by inviting participants to immerse themselves in refugee experiences by adopting identities of actual refugee families as they complete four stages of the refugee application process. Student reactions to the refugee simulation suggest that it is an effective tool for demonstrating the complexities of the refugee experience in the United States and for evoking social empathy.
Critical assessment of pediatric neurosurgery patient/parent educational information obtained via the Internet
Authors: Garcia Michael , Daugherty Christopher , Ben Khallouq Bertha , Maugans Todd
Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE

The Internet is used frequently by patients and family members to acquire information about pediatric neurosurgical conditions. The sources, nature, accuracy, and usefulness of this information have not been examined recently. The authors analyzed the results from searches of 10 common pediatric neurosurgical terms using a novel scoring test to assess the value of the educational information obtained.

METHODS

Google and Bing searches were performed for 10 common pediatric neurosurgical topics (concussion, craniosynostosis, hydrocephalus, pediatric brain tumor, pediatric Chiari malformation, pediatric epilepsy surgery, pediatric neurosurgery, plagiocephaly, spina bifida, and tethered spinal cord). The first 10 “hits” obtained with each search engine were analyzed using the Currency, Relevance, Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose (CRAAP) test, which assigns a numerical score in each of 5 domains. Agreement between results was assessed for 1) concurrent searches with Google and Bing; 2) Google searches over time (6 months apart); 3) Google searches using mobile and PC platforms concurrently; and 4) searches using privacy settings. Readability was assessed with an online analytical tool.

RESULTS

Google and Bing searches yielded information with similar CRAAP scores (mean 72% and 75%, respectively), but with frequently differing results (58% concordance/matching results). There was a high level of agreement (72% concordance) over time for Google searches and also between searches using general and privacy settings (92% concordance). Government sources scored the best in both CRAAP score and readability. Hospitals and universities were the most prevalent sources, but these sources had the lowest CRAAP scores, due in part to an abundance of self-marketing. The CRAAP scores for mobile and desktop platforms did not differ significantly (p = 0.49).

CONCLUSIONS

Google and Bing searches yielded useful educational information, using either mobile or PC platforms. Most information was relevant and accurate; however, the depth and breadth of information was variable. Search results over a 6-month period were moderately stable. Pediatric neurosurgery practices and neurosurgical professional organization websites were inferior (less current, less accurate, less authoritative, and less purposeful) to governmental and encyclopedia-type resources such as Wikipedia. This presents an opportunity for pediatric neurosurgeons to participate in the creation of better online patient/parent educational material.
Epidemiology of spinal injury in childhood and adolescence in the United States: 1997–2012
Authors: Piatt Joseph , Imperato Nicholas
Published: February 2018

OBJECTIVE

There has been no successful study of trends in population-based incidences of pediatric spinal injury in the United States. The goal of the current study was to develop robust data to correct this deficiency in contemporary trauma epidemiology.

METHODS

Discharges coded for spinal injury were extracted from the Kids’ Inpatient Database for 1997, 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2012 for patients younger than 18 years. Childhood was defined as ages 0 through 14 years and adolescence as ages 15, 16, and 17 years. Denominator population data were taken from the website of the US Census. Annual incidences were estimated for hospitalization for spinal injury, spinal cord injury (SCI), and hospital death with spinal injury. Mechanistic and anatomical patterns of injury were studied.

RESULTS

The annual population-based incidences of hospitalization for spinal injury, SCI, and death with spinal injury trended downward from 1997 to 2012 for children and adolescents in the United States. Rates of SCI and death fell faster than overall hospitalization rates, suggesting lower thresholds for admission or greater diagnostic sensitivity to minor injuries over time. The incidence of hospitalization for spinal injury was roughly 8 times greater for adolescents than for children, and the incidence of SCI was roughly 6 times greater. Motor vehicle crash predominated among mechanisms for both children and adolescents, but penetrating injuries and sport injuries were more commonly associated with SCI. Lumbosacral injuries predominated in both children and adolescents, but injuries of the cervical spine were more commonly associated with SCI.

CONCLUSIONS

Further research is needed to identify the cause or causes of the observed decline in injury rates. Epidemiological data can inform and support prevention efforts.
