Data treatment was performed using the Excel 2010 program. Results: Over the ten years, 353 patients were admitted to the hospitals of Cáceres and Plasencia following traffic accidents. The mean incidence rate was between 11 and 12 admittances/year/1000 inhabitants in both areas, gradually decreasing over the period of the study. The average profile of the traffic accident patient was a male, aged between 38 and 40 years, admitted for spinal column lesions or abdominal viscera hemorrhaging attended by the trauma unit or general surgery, remaining for an average of 11 days. Conclusions: According to the mean weight of the DRGs, these patients supposed a uniform work overload in surgery units, and sporadically in the trauma units, that of the hospital of Plasencia being greater. They do not observe significant differences between the units of hospitalisation of general surgery and traumatology neither between both hospitals.
