background and aim : acute injuries of the spine and spinal cord are causing the greatest amount of disability. they produce high cost outcomes for patients and society psychologically and economically. knowing the epidemiology of these injuries play an important role in planning for prevention and conservative treatment. but now, we have little information about this in our country. the aim of...

BACKGROUND In this study, we compared the anatomical, and physiological scoring systems trauma revised injury severity score (TRISS), revised trauma score (RTS), injury severity score (ISS), new injury severity score (NISS) to each other, to find out the most accurate and reliable trauma score for the risk classification of morbidity and mortality among the trauma patients. METHODS This is a ...

OBJECTIVES The present retrospective study was performed to determine the incidence and outcome of primary blast injury and to identify possible changes over the course of the conflicts between 2003 and 2006. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Combat physicians treating patients injured in overseas contingency operations observed an increase in the severity of explosion injuries occurring during this pe...

OBJECTIVE To characterize deaths from trauma in a tertiary hospital and evaluate the quality of care provided to these victims. METHODS This was a retrospective study in a referral center for trauma in the period of one year. Through the methodology Trauma Score - Injury Severity Score and the review of medical records, preventable, potentially avoidable and non-preventable deaths were identi...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether age <or=8 y is an independent predictor of mortality in noncoalition trauma patients at a US combat support hospital. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of 1132 noncoalition trauma patients who were admitted to a combat support hospital between December 2003 and December 2004. Data on age, severity of injury indice...

BACKGROUND Traumatic injury is near the top of World Health Organization list of leading causes of death, and one of the major factors affecting mortality is the severity of the trauma. During medical intervention for trauma patients, some injuries may be overlooked, and this misstep may be the basis of a malpractice claim. The objective of this study was to provide a new approach to evaluating...

INTRODUCTION Trauma and injury severity score (TRISS), introduced in 1981 is a combination index based on revised trauma score (RTS), injury severity score (ISS) and patient's age. In this study we have used TRISS method to predict the outcome in trauma cases. MATERIALS AND METHODS 1000 consecutive cases of trauma of adult age group admitted in casualty of Dayanand Medical College and Hospita...

Purpose: There are many studies on the practicality of interleukin-6 (IL-6) as a prognostic predictor in patients with multiple severe traumas. However, few focus IL-6 chest trauma. So, this study investigated whether is effective factor blunt trauma.Methods: A total 44 trauma who visited regional center from July to December 2021 were included retrospective study. Blood levels measured immedia...

Background: Road crash injury is largely preventable and predictable; it is a human-made problem amenable to rational analysis and countermeasures. All the studies on Road Traffic accidents either use number of accidents or victims according to availability of accident data. Studies combining these two types of data to identify hazardous locations are a rarity. In this study data on both, the n...

BACKGROUND Despite the suggestion that the inflammatory response in traumatized children is functionally unique, prognostic markers predicting pediatric multiple organ failure are lacking. We intended to verify whether Interleukin-6 (IL-6) displays a pivotal role in pediatric trauma similar to adults. METHODS Traumatized children less than 18 years of age with an Injury Severity Score >9 poin...
