abstract="Injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Canada and health-care costs associated with injury and trauma are significant. Trauma systems and standards have been defined by the Trauma Association of Canada. A National Trauma Registry has also been introduced, which has become an important resource for measuring the impact of this condition.
