*

p values are for the difference between all children with fractures compared with children without fractures.

p values are for the difference between children with fractures caused by slight trauma compared with those children without fractures.

p values are for the difference between children with fractures caused by moderate or severe trauma compared with children without fractures.

§

p value of 0.045 for difference between all children with fractures compared with those children with fractures who had a trauma level assigned.

p value of 0.037 for difference between all children with fractures compared with those children with fractures who had a trauma level assigned.
