Between 1982 and 1984 a multicentre study of trauma was conducted at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital (UITH) and eight other hospitals receiving patients from four states adjoining Kwara State of Nigeria. Average trauma admissions ranged between 4.3 and 20.6% of total admissions while 2.4% of dam construction workers sustained injuries. Peak trauma incidence and operations occurred in the third decade of life, followed road traffic accidents (RTA's) and involved males. Most outpatient trauma activity occurred on Saturdays while trauma admissions were highest on Mondays and Wednesdays. Trauma mortalities in the hospitals appeared to reflect severity of trauma encountered.
1982年至1984年间，伊洛林大学教学医院（UITH）与其他八家医院开展了一项创伤多中心研究，这八家医院接收来自尼日利亚夸拉州周边四个州的患者。创伤患者的平均入院人数占总入院人数的4.3%至20.6%，而大坝建筑工人中有2.4%受伤。创伤发生率和手术量的峰值出现在30岁左右，道路交通事故（RTA）是主要原因，且男性居多。大多数门诊创伤活动发生在周六，而创伤患者入院人数在周一和周三最高。医院中的创伤死亡率似乎反映了所遇到创伤的严重程度。
