Data on 22,312 admissions to the San Diego County Trauma System were used to identify 185 trauma patients admitted repeatedly to trauma units. These patients were compared with the entire group of nonrepeating trauma patients admitted during the 80-month period of the study. In comparison with nonrepeaters, the repeaters were younger, were more often men, were more often Black, and were much more frequently victims of assault. Forty-eight percent of the repeaters were injured by the same general mechanism on both admissions.
利用圣地亚哥县创伤系统22312例入院病例的数据，确定了185例反复入住创伤病房的创伤患者。将这些患者与研究80个月期间收治的所有非反复创伤患者进行比较。与非反复创伤患者相比，反复创伤患者更年轻，男性更多，黑人更多，且更频繁地成为袭击受害者。48%的反复创伤患者两次入院时受伤的总体机制相同。
