Abstract

Objective To assess associations between housing characteristics and risk of hospital admissions related to falls on/from stairs in children, to help inform prevention measures. Study design An existing dataset of birth records linked to hospital admissions up to age 5 for a cohort of 3,925,737 children born in England between 2008 and 2014, was linked to postcode-level housing data from Energy Performance Certificates. Association between housing construction age, tenure (eg, owner occupied), and built form and risk of stair-fall-related hospital admissions was estimated using Poisson regression. We stratified by age (
