The rapid economic and automobile growth in India leads to a rapid increase in road traffic accidents (RTAs) and factors affecting it. This study evaluates the epidemiology of trauma patients' reports to the major trauma center in New Delhi, India.
The 1,583 patients over 6 months reporting to the casualty of the trauma center attached to Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi were included in the study. The patients reporting to the outpatient department as follow-up visits were not included in the study. The data were collected with the help of a structured .
The data depicted the RTAs as the most common cause affecting adults between 20 years and 40 years. The study reports other risk factors like alcohol intoxication and motorcycle riders. Mostly, the patients present in a semiconscious and disoriented state requiring fluid resuscitation. Abrasions and bruises in the extremities stand out as the most common injury pattern. The fractures suffered were the most common injury suffered by the patients.
Our study shows that RTAs and workplace injuries are the predominant causes of trauma affecting mostly the adults. This study defines the correlation of various parameters with causation and distribution of the trauma in the sample population. This study was performed to improve the understanding of the mode of trauma, severity of injuries, and outcome in our hospital, so that effective prevention and comprehensive management strategies could be made.
This study signifies the fundamental study for the occurrence, distribution, and prevention of trauma in the society. The acquisition of knowledge of different patterns of trauma patients along with other descriptive factors helps to understand the causation of this disease as well as development of preventive measures. This can form the basis of hospital and regional trauma management strategies.

印度经济和汽车行业的快速发展导致道路交通事故（RTAs）及其影响因素迅速增加。本研究评估了印度新德里主要创伤中心创伤患者报告的流行病学情况。
本研究纳入了1583名在新德里洛克·奈亚克医院附属创伤中心急诊室就诊超过6个月的患者。到门诊部进行随访的患者不纳入本研究。数据是借助结构化……收集的。
数据显示道路交通事故是影响20岁至40岁成年人的最常见原因。该研究报告了其他风险因素，如酒精中毒和摩托车骑手。大多数患者呈现半昏迷和定向障碍状态，需要液体复苏。四肢擦伤和瘀伤是最常见的损伤类型。骨折是患者最常遭受的损伤。
我们的研究表明，道路交通事故和工作场所受伤是创伤的主要原因，主要影响成年人。本研究确定了样本人群中各种参数与创伤因果关系及分布的相关性。进行本研究是为了增进对我院创伤模式、损伤严重程度和结局的理解，以便制定有效的预防和综合管理策略。
本研究标志着对社会创伤发生、分布和预防的基础研究。获取不同创伤患者模式以及其他描述性因素的知识有助于理解该疾病的病因以及制定预防措施。这可为医院和地区创伤管理策略奠定基础。
