Abstract

The records of two groups of patients admitted to the wards of a large general hospital during a recent one-year period are reviewed and compared. One group of patients had been hospitalized for trauma, the other was admitted for all other reasons. The groups are described using various parameters. Special attention is given to concomitant disease both as a cause of trauma and as a complication in its management. Performance of similar studies throughout the United States is suggested, to investigate for trends of more than local significance and to add to the armamentarium for prevention of accidental trauma as well as to improve its over-all treatment.
