For better understanding of the trends of trauma in overall registrated child morbidity and mortality includingoutpatient and hospital cases we used the data derived from retrospective study fora period from 1979 to 1988. Analyzing the structure of ten leading groups of illnesses in the outpatient groups of children by the age of 6 years, injuries and intoxications were on the sixth position with the frequency of 2% and for the same period had a progressive increase with the dynamic index of 105.30. The percentage of the injuries and intoxications in the registrated outpatient morbidity of children from 6 to 14 years was 5-5.5% which put them on the fifth position at the list of ten leading groups of illnesses.
