AIM: To examine characteristics of @entity130 in adults and @entity1 at the Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH) over a 10 year period. METHOD: A retrospective review of the RDH @entity130 Registry data from 1 January 2003 to 31 December 2012, with analysis of @entity1 demographics, mechanism of injury, @entity130 ( @entity130 ), and outcome. @entity1 : Two thousand seven hundred twenty-five @entity1 with an @entity130 greater than or equal to 9 and met all other study inclusion criteria. RESULTS: Motor vehicle crashes, assaults and falls consistently remained the three most common mechanisms of injury throughout the 10 year period. Indigenous admissions showed a significant downward trend (p   =   0.009). Upward trends were noted in presentations from @entity1 aged greater than 44 (p   =   0.002), all-terrain vehicle accidents (p   <0.001), and hangings (p   =   0.003). No other trends were noted to significant at a p   <0.05 level. Admitted Indigenous @entity1 were significantly more likely to be present due to assault (p   <0.001) and female @entity1 were more likely to present due to assault, falls and motor vehicle crashes (p   <0.01) than their counterparts. CONCLUSION: Presentations for @entity130 to Royal Darwin Hospital have remained in the most part, consistently stable for the period of 2003-2012. Though there were some increases/decreases in regard to specific demographics and mechanisms, few were found to be statistically significant at a p   <   0.05 level.
