In 1989 3. 090 persons were treated at the Odense University Hospital for injuries sustained in road traffic accidents. 2. 097 were injured bicyclists. The over all incidence of injuries following road traffic accidents in the municipality of Odense (1989) was 15. 2 injured per 1000 inhabitants. The aim of this study has been to reveal possible patterns, i. e. clustering, in road traffic accident circumstances in order to establish a basis for accident prevention programmes.
