TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Recent trends in traffic injury JO - Injury A1 - Hutchinson, Timothy Paul A1 - Harris, R. A. SP - 133 EP - 138 VL - 10 IS - 2 N2 - Data in the Registrar-General's statistical reviews for 1958-75 and in the reports of the Hospital In-Patient Enquiry for 1964-73 have been examined to ascertain the light they shed on the changes in the patterns of injury from road accidents over this period. Causes of death, primary injury for hospital inpatients and average length of hospital stay have been examined. It seems that an increasing proportion of deaths are being ascribed to internal injuries and a decreasing proportion to fracture of the skull.
