dc.description.abstractTo assess the impact of hire e-scooters on injury presentations at Cairns emergency department (ED). A retrospective cohort study comparing e-scooter injuries before and after the introduction of hire e-scooters. A total of 323 patients presented with e-scooter injuries. There were 133 'before' and 190 'after' cases. The majority were males aged 10-20. Hospital admissions and length of stay increased in the 'after' group (32% vs. 9%, 27 vs. 9 staying > 24 h). Hire e-scooters are associated with a higher trauma burden. These findings support targeted safety interventions and collaborative injury prevention strategies.en
