Abstract

This paper deals with the results of a thirteen-and-a-half year survey of motorcycle accident patients admitted to the burns unit at the Royal Brisbane Hospital. There were 38 patients in the study. Population and analysis of data in three consecutive four-and-a-half year periods shows changing patterns in aetiology, management and morbidity. Cycle design and the use of suitable clothing were identified as reversible aetiological factors.
