The types of accident most associated with loss of consciousness were car crashes and pedestrian-vehicle collisions; stabbings were not associated with loss of consciousness (Tables 1, 2). There was no statistical significance comparing the other types of accidents. Tables 3, 4 and 5 show the results of the trauma indexes. The RTS (Table 3), TRISS (Table 4) and ISS (Table 5) demonstrated that there were significant differences in the medians of the different types of trauma (Mood's median test: p = 0.000). Additionally, significant differ- ences were observed in the association between the type of injury and the respiratory rate (Mood's median test: p = 0.04, Table 6). The mean systolic pressure was significantly lower in patients with gunshot wounds (p < 0.0001, Table 7). *Chi-square **Injury: (1) car crash, (2) motorbike crash, (3) pedestrian-vehicle collisions, (4) falls, (5) bicycle accidents, (6) gunshots, (7) stabbings, (8) fights, (9) burns involving falls, (10) impaled, (11) electric shock with fall, (12) bites, (13) drowning after head/thoracic injury, (14) suicide, (15) non-intentional wounds *Chi-square **Injury: (1) car crash, (2) motorbike crash, (3) pedestrian-vehicle collisions, (4) falls, (5) bicycle accidents, (6) gunshots, (7) stabbings, (8) fights, (9) burns involving falls, (10) impaled, (11) electric shock with fall, (12) bites, (13) drowning after head/thoracic injury, (14) suicide, (15) non-intentional wounds *Chi-square **Injury: (1) car crash, (2) motorbike crash, (3) pedestrian-vehicle collisions, (4) falls, (5) bicycle accidents, (6) gunshots, (7) stabbings, (8) fights, (9) burns involving falls, (10) impaled, (11) electric shock with fall, (12) bites, (13) drowning after head/thoracic injury, (14) suicide, (15) non-intentional wounds *Chi-square **Injury: (1) car crash, (2) motorbike crash, (3) pedestrian-vehicle collisions, (4) falls, (5) bicycle accidents, (6) gunshots, (7) stabbings, (8) fights, (9) burns involving falls, (10) impaled, (11) electric shock with fall, (12) bites, (13) drowning after head/thoracic injury, (14) suicide, (15) non-intentional wounds 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 2.96 0.00 0.00 7.84* 0.00 0.00 1 10, 11, 14 15 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 5.5 0.8 0.2 0.8 36.8* 3.6 3.3 53.9 1.0 1.4 1 10, 11, 14 15 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 N< 38 7 14 26 6 50 11 3 20 17 N< 40 6 9 18 6 29 6 8 5 9 18.0 9.5 4.0 11.0 18.5 12.0 9.5 19.8 9.0 7.5 93 4.0 5.5 4.5* 3.5 5.0 2.0 2.3 22.0 3.5 2.0 N≥ 53 6 3 20 16 26 11 15 21 7 N≥ 51 7 8 28 16 47 16 10 36 15 13.0 10.0 5.0 9.0 16.0 8.0 10.0 22.5 13.0 6.0 20.0 20.2 19.0 20.0 20.0 20.0 20.0 20.0 20.0 20.0
