abstract="OBJECTIVE: Review the impact of COVID-19 social restrictions on trauma presentations in South Australia   METHODS: Retrospective database review   RESULTS: During the period of social restrictions there was a reduction in presentations of trauma and major trauma by 17% and 33% respectively. The reduction in presentation rates was due to a large decrease in those aged over 40, with an increase in presentations in those younger than 40. Review by mechanism and location of injury revealed a reduction in road trauma, yet an increase in pedestrian trauma and trauma at home.   CONCLUSIONS: Social restrictions alter the characteristics of trauma presentations.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
