Pediatric Oral Electrical Burns: Incidence of Emergency Department Visits in the United States, 1997-2012

Earlier incidence estimates of pediatric oral electrical burns varied substantially within the literature and varied from small case reports to single-year studies. Our multiyear data analysis provides evidence of decreasing annual incidence when compared with historical estimates for a common but potentially morbid injury among the pediatric population.
