Key Points

To examine how social and economic factors impact health care delivery for injured children and adolescents.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies evaluating social and economic factors in pediatric trauma care.
Searched multiple databases for relevant studies until July 27, 2024.
Used the Risk of Bias in Non-randomized Studies - of Exposure tool for bias assessment.
Among 73 eligible studies, only 28 were included in meta-analyses.
Non-Hispanic Black children were significantly more likely to receive any analgesic (OR = 1.68, 95% CI: 1.51–1.87) but had lower odds for opioid prescriptions (OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.92–0.97).
Self-pay and public insurance patients faced reduced opioid access and disparities in admission and rehabilitation services.
