“…In our study, 85.67%injuries are due to blunt weapon followed by 15.87%by road side incident while only 1.03% are by firearm. The greater likelihood of blunt injury being on head and neck is reported in other studies [6,10] as in our study 45.18%injuries of blunt weapon are on head and neck. Most of cases arrived in the evening and early night constitutes (74.33%).The higher incidence in May to July and October to December are seen may be due to occupational timings.…”

The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of age and sex with type of lesion and causative weapon after trauma in a medico-legal clinic and to find the impact on the commonest target organs in the study area. This study was conducted to understand the magnitude and pattern of medico-legal injuries. One year retrospective study from January to December 2016 in the Casualty / Emergency department of Government Medical College & Rajindra Hospital Patiala in Punjab state of India revealed that male to female ratio was 6.4:1 and maximum of 34.6% individuals were in age group of 20-29 years. Body area injured varied according to cause. Seasonal, Literacy and urban-rural variations are figured out.

“…[7,18] This can be attributed to the fact that RTC mortality in the UAE is one of the highest in the world, which has been estimated at 37 per 100,000 population annually. [21,24,25] Patients who survive HI may suffer severe residual disability including epilepsy, speech impairment, personality disturbance, and other irreversible neurologic damages. [4] Residual disability was found in survivors of moderate (54%) and mild (51%) HI.…”

AMAÇKafa yaralanması travma hastalarında mortaliteyi artırmak-tadır. Bu yazıda, Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri (BAE) Al-Ain kentindeki kafa yaralanmalarının epidemiyolojik ve klinik özellikleri değerlendirildi. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEMAl-Ain Hastanesi'ne 24 saatten daha uzun süreyle yatırılan ve hastanede ölen kafa yaralanması hastaları çalışmaya dahil edildi. (1-89) yıldı. En sık yaralanma mekanizması, karayolu trafik kazası (%67,1) ve daha sonra da yüksekten düş-me (%11,9) idi. Kafa yaralanması, hastaların %82,2'sinde hafif, %5,7'sinde orta derece ve %12,1'inde ciddi idi. Hastaların %20,9'u yoğun bakım ünitesine yatırıldı. Otuz beş hasta öldü (genel mortalite %5,9). Ölen hastalar, anlamlı şekilde yüksek yaralanma şiddet skoruna (p<0,0001), daha düşük Glasgow koma skoruna (p<0,0001) ve daha yüksek kısaltılmış yaralanma ölçeğine (p<0,0001) sahipti. SONUÇMotorlu araç kazası, BAE'deki kafa yaralanması ile ilgili başlıca mekanizma idi ve bunu yüksekten düşme izliyordu. Zorunlu emniyet kemeri kullanımı, bisiklet ve motorsiklet sürücüleri tarafından kask kullanımı ile ilgili mevzuat yasalaştırılmalıdır. İşyerinde güvenli iş ortamı ve koruyucu ön-lemler sağlanmalıdır.

“…The current level of development of software packages of statistical programs and of expert systems permits the relatively rapid development of predictive models by any major hospital or specialized centre in Ukraine. At the same time, the full potential of modern statistical methods in medical and clinical research is not widely used in Ukraine, in contrast to the practice of leading Western centres, which have established analytical groups, professionally engaged in the collection and processing of data, and in the construction of predictive models and expert systems [12][13][14][15][16].…”

Background: There are different approaches to the assessment of the severity of trauma in a victim and to the provision of specialized health care. Some of them are based on the development of scales and logistic models, using expert systems or statistical methods, to assess the severity of injury and the probability of a particular outcome. This article presents the results of a study on the feasibility of developing and applying various statistical models in order to predict the outcome in the case of different types of trauma, based on data on the status of victims with severe trauma. Patients and methods:
