This study looks at the demography of trauma from data abstracted from a Nigerian trauma registry and considers the peculiarities of a low-resource setting from this perspective. Trauma registry data from January 2013 to June 2014 were analyzed. A total of 542 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 33.43 ± 12.79 years; the median time from injury to arrival at the hospital was 3 h (interquartile range IQR 1 - 5.1 h); three-quarters of the patients sustained their injuries on the road-tricycles were rarely involved in road traffic injuries (RTIs) (6.9% of RTIs) but were used in transporting a third of the patients whose data on means of transportation were captured. There were 15 (2.7%) deaths in the first 24 h period postinjury covered by the study - 13 (86.7%) of these patients had head-and-neck injury. About half of the assault injury (50.5%) was from persons knowlay responders in transporting the injured victim to hospital. A high proportion of assailants were known to the victim.
