Abstract

All casualty attendances (25 707) at a general hospital in the year 1979 were reviewed considering sex, age, employment, location of accident, mechanism of accident, diagnosis, time of arrival at casualty, day of week, week, and month. Males, young people (less than 32 years old), and working people were common attenders. Home accidents and weekend visits were frequent. these and other findings are discussed in the context of other recent similar studies.
