Abstract

Road traffic accidents (RTA) are the second commonest cause of accidental death in people aged over 65. The phenomenonology and resource utilisation of Irish RTA patients is not documented. The authors studied older RTA patients admitted to two Irish trauma centres in 1995. Of 525 patients, 42 (8%) were aged over 65. 38 patients aged 16-64 years were compared for comparison (selected at random) and reviewed the notes in detail. (Author/publisher)
