The Effect of Emergency Department and After-Emergency Department Analgesic Treatment on Pediatric Long Bone Fracture Outcomes (LongBone) (IMPROVE)

Health Impacts Domain: —

Summary

A large multi-center comparative effectiveness study of children with long bone fractures to evaluate the short-term effectiveness of pain treatments during and after ED care. Fracture pain is a common reason for pain in children and the current opioid crisis poses a challenge for ED providers in prescribing analgesic medications. There is currently insufficient evidence to recommend a definitive ED analgesic regimen for children with a fracture.
