AB  - Trauma  is  a  major  cause  of  disability  and  death  for  individuals  in  the  United  States.  In  fact,  trauma  from  unintentional  injuries,  homicide,  and  suicide  is  the  leading  cause  of  death  for  Americans  aged  1  to  44  years.  Injuries  associated  with  trauma  account  for  approximately  one  third  of  all  emergency  department  visits  and  8%  of  all  hospital  stays  in  trauma  care  systems.  The  top  four  mechanisms  of  traumatic  injuries  involve  falls,  motor  vehicle  accidents  (struck  by  or  against  another  individual),  and  other  transportation  accidents.  The  mechanism  of  injury  varies  in  different  age  groups.  For  those  younger  than  7  years  or  75  and  older,  falls  account  for  40%  of  traumatic  injuries;  but  in  those  aged  15–33  years,  motor  vehicle  injuries  account  for  27%  of  the  injuries,  peaking  around  age  19.
