BACKGROUND: Emergency services manage trauma patients frequently and falls from height comprise the main cause of emergency service admissions. In this study, we aimed to analyse the demographic characteristics of falls from height and their relationship to the mortality.METHODS: A total of 460 patients, who admitted to the Emergency Department of Inonu University between November 2011 and November 2014 with a history of fall from height, were examined retrospectively. Demographic parameters, fall characteristics and their effect to mortality were evaluated statistically. RESULTS: The study comprised of 292(63.5%) men and 168(36.5%) women patients. The mean age of all patients was 27±24.99 years. Twenty-six(5.6%) patients died and the majority of them were in ≥62 years old group. The highest percentage of falls was at 0–5 years age group(28.3%). People fell mainly from 1.1–4 metres(m) level(46.1%). The causes of falls were ordered as unintentional(92.2%), workplace(8.1%) and suicidal(1.7%). Skin and soft tissue injuries(37.4%) were the main traumatic lesions.
