The most important indicators of children's health are the rates of children’s traumas and children’s disability due to injuries. According to these indicators one can estimate the availability and the quality of medical care as well as the effectiveness of preventive measures. The objective of the study was to analyze the statistics on children’s injuries in St. Petersburg in 2011 and a comparison of injury rates and condition of trauma care to children with similar average indicators across Russia and the North-Western Federal District.
