Abstract
Road traffic accident (RTA) is one of the major social and public health problems in Malaysia. In year 2006 alone, the total road traffic crashes in Malaysia were 341,252 cases whereby 35,425 people sustained injuries due to road traffic accidents. This figure is 0.15% of the total population (26.4 million) in Malaysia. In order to analyze the road traffic injuries, a Malaysian Road Traffic Injury Surveillance System was developed. The system is a database program written in Visual Basic 6.0 (VB6) with MySQL 4.0.21-nt as the database management system (DBMS). It is useful to store RTI data, printing hospitalization report, perform simple cross tabulations and data analysis. The system contributes in adopting the Abbreviated Injury Scale 1990 update 1998 injury codes for describing motor-vehicle injuries.
