What is Injury Patterns in Motor Vehicle Collision-pediatric Pedestrian Deaths about?

## Objective: To describe fatal pediatric pedestrian injury patterns and correlate them with motor vehicle collision (mvc) characteristics and pedestrian kinematics using data from medicolegal death investigations of mvcs occurring in the current canadian mv fleet and determine the applicability of the classical "waddell's triad" comprising knee, hip (femur) or pelvis and craniocerebral injuries to present data injury patterns. ## Methods: An injury data collection form was used to extract mv, mvc, pedestrian demographic and injury information from the office of the chief coroner for ontario database using autopsy data from 2013 to 2018. injuries were coded using the abbreviated injury scale (ais) 2015 revision. the study focused on ais ≥3 injuries utilizing the maximum abbreviated injury scale (mais), mais by body region (maisbr) and injury severity score (iss). ## Results: Between 2013 and 2018, there were 25 pediatric deaths. the pedestrians were either struck and run over ( = 17, 68%; 56% low speed) or struck and projected ( = 8, 32%). twenty-two deaths were from frontal impacts; three were from reversing vehicles. fourteen of the 17 (82.4%) run over cases occurred at low speed
