Ophthalmic outcomes and follow-up after inpatient hospital discharge in children with abusive head trauma.

Most patients (69.9%) resided in very low or low Child Opportunity Index neighborhoods.

Median distance to the nearest pediatric ophthalmologist was 30.9 miles (IQR, 10.0-57.7).

Child Opportunity Index distribution was not associated with follow-up adherence (P = 0.37).

However, children in very low-, low-, or moderate-opportunity neighborhoods lived farther from care than those in high or very high-opportunity neighborhoods (median, 38.6 miles [IQR, 19.6-59.6] vs 5.3 miles [IQR, 3.3-13.1], resp.) (P < 0.001 [Mann-Whitney U test]).
