Abstract: | The number of motor vehicle accidents is increasing at an alarming rate. This has resulted from a number of factors. In Malta, there is currently one car for every two residents. Moreover, Maltese drivers have become more mobile, using their car more frequently, and younger in age as a result of the increasing purchasing power of the individual. Studies relating to the incidence and pattern of car accidents in Malta are not readily available. In this study, an analysis of MVA casualties admitted to the Casualty Department of St. Luke's Hospital over a period of one year (1994) was carried out with a view to determine patterns which were significantly related to increased traffic accidents. |
