摘要

Trauma is the leading cause of death in the working population. The World Health Organisation (WHO) reports 4.4 million deaths annually due to unintentional or violence-related injuries; one in three of these deaths results from road traffic injuries (RTIs). For individuals aged 5–29 years, three of the top five causes of death are injury-related. Major trauma is the eighth leading cause of death across all age groups and the leading cause of death among children and young adults. The highest rates of trauma-related deaths are observed in low-income countries. Globally, men face twice the risk of dying from injuries as women, with approximately 75% of injury-related deaths resulting from trauma and RTIs.
