Patient age and sex, accident pattern, presence of personal protective measures, injured body part, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score, Revised Trauma Score (RTS), radiological findings, requested consultations, duration of hospital stay, season of injury, and average cost rates were recorded. The study population was divided into 2 age groups as 0-14 years and over 14 years. Results: A patients were 238 (81.2%) male and their mean age was 31.5 +/- 14.1 years.
