Abstract

Falls and the related sequelae represent hazards recognized by healthcare organizations, but evidence describing the incidence and risks of falls in pediatric ambulatory settings is limited. This study engaged parents to assess fall incidence and to investigate predictors of patients who fell from those that did not.
