Table 5.
Means, standard deviation, and p-value when comparing groups of the patients that suffered from a fall with patients that suffered from a direct impact.
| Fall (n = 30) | Direct (n = 6) | p-Value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age | 8.41 ± 3.78 | 11.71 ± 3.10 | 0.053 |
| Sex | 0.63 ± 0.49 | 0.67 ± 0.52 | 0.881 |
| Side | 0.47 ± 0.51 | 0.17 ± 0.41 | 0.183 |
| Previous fracture | 0.07 ± 0.25 | 0.17 ± 0.41 | 0.433 |
| Delay | 1.97 ± 4.06 | 2.50 ± 5.65 | 0.784 |
| AO Pediatric | 3.73 ± 1.34 | 3.83 ± 1.72 | 0.874 |
| Paleopathology | 0.30 ± 0.47 | 0.67 ± 0.52 | 0.093 |
Age (years), delay (days), and AO Pediatric classification were entered as continuous variables. The other variables were entered as dichotomous; sex (0 = female), side (0 = left), previous fracture (0 = none), and paleopathology criteria (0 = no).
