Injury caseload, pattern and time of presentation to emergency services in Mozambique: A pragmatic, multicentre, observational study
Injuries corresponded to around one-quarter of all emergency admissions in urban Mozambique, and were predominantly caused by falls, physical violence, and road traffic injuries. Understanding distinctive variations in the pattern and timing of these presentations according to the age, location and season will assist in future planning for more efficient injury prevention and health care services in Mozambique.
