N2  - To assess the mortality incidence among trauma victims a one year prospective study was conducted on all patients admitted with physical trauma. The causes of death amongst trauma victims comprised road traffic accident (44.71%), thermal injuries (19.71%), domestic causes (11.54%), agriculture related injury and criminal violence (9.61% each), fall of construction workers (2.4%), collapse of buildings and train accidents (0.96% each) and industrial injury (0.48%). Mortality was highest among victims with multiple injuries (41.35%). The mortality rate increased in direct proportion to increase in transportation time and injury severity score.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
