Background: Post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) is one of the types of epilepsy, which is a complication of traumatic brain injury (TBI) that occurs after TBI or 7 days later. Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the risk factors for PTE in patients with TBI. Methods: The computed tomography (CT)-scan results of all TBI patients were investigated in this retrospective study. At first, initial evaluation, including the examination of airways, vital signs, and breathing, was performed, and the level of consciousness was checked according to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) for all traumatic patients. Then, the results of all CT scans were evaluated by a neurologist. If the patient had PTE, she/he was included in the study. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics in SPSS software (version 16). Results: The results showed that mild, moderate, and severe GCS scores were reported in 8 (14.3%), 30 (52.5%), and 18 (32.2%) participants, respectively. Vehicle accidents were the main cause of TBI (n = 34, 60%), and the lowest TBI rate was due to other cases (n = 4, 7.2%). The most and least frequent CT-scan finding was epidural hemorrhage (EH) (n = 24, 42.3%) and midline shift and intracerebral hemorrhage (n = 6, 10.8%), respectively. A total of 24 patients (42.3%) had tonic epilepsy, and 10 patients (17.9%) had epilepsy duration of more than 10 minutes. Conclusions: The most frequent risk factors included vehicles, falling from a height, and strikes, respectively. Additionally, the most common CT scan findings included EH and subarachnoid hemorrhage (SH). Motor vehicle accidents account for the highest rate of TBI-related PTE. For this reason, it is necessary to take preventive measures in this regard.

“…In this regard, results of previous systematic review studies in Iran show that the prevalence of birth trauma in 9 articles published in Iran is equal to 2.7% (Shokri & Nayyeri, 2021). Also, the prevalence of lower vascular trauma was 54.8% and the prevalence of subsequent death in these patients was 12.3% and in a review study by Karimian et al, (2021) on 15 studies entered into the meta-analysis stage, which indicates the importance of relevant studies in Iran.…”

Background: Due to the importance of pressure ulcers (PUs), this study was performed to determine the status of pressure ulcers in patients admitted to hospitals in Ilam. Methods: This is a cross-sectional descriptive study that was conducted (sample size=220). Researchers obtained a list of discharged patients from hospitals and contacted patients or their companions. The instruments included a demographic profile form and the Braden Scale for Predicting PU Risks. Data analysis was SPSS ver. 16 software. Results: It showed most of the patients achieved scores in poor and low risk status. Also, the overall score for risk of Pus was low, moderate, and high, and very high in 28 (12.7%), 81 (36.7%), 105 (47.7%), and 6 (2.7%) of cases, respectively. The total mean ± SD of patients with and without Pus was 10.18 ± 0.77 and 13.01 ± 1.40, respectively. Also, there was a significant difference between patients with and without Pus in terms of the mean ± SD of scores obtained in all items of this instrument, except friction and shear (P<0.05). Conclusions: Due to the identification of factors affecting the development of pressure ulcers, it is necessary to take the necessary interventions to reduce them.

“…There are various types of trauma, and the prevalence of each type affects the outcome of these patients. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) include a variety of mild reversible lesions to severe life-threatening lesions (1)(2)(3). Trauma affects all age groups and causes a lot of economic and psychological burdens for patients.…”

Prevalence of Subarachnoid Hemorrhage in Traumatic Brain Injury Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: One of the clinical manifestations and complications of traumatic brain injury patients is traumatic intracranial hemorrhages, divided into primary and secondary hemorrhages. Objectives: The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Methods: The present cross-sectional study was conducted on all TBI patients with SAH for one year. Data collection tools include a demographic profile form and a researcher-made checklist. The severity of TBI is divided according to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score. The patient’s history and clinical examinations were considered when admitting to the hospital. The consciousness level was measured at 6-to-24-hour intervals, a computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, and any abnormal SAH-related clinical findings and symptoms were recorded. If the patient had other hemorrhages besides SAH, the hematoma volume was recorded. The collected data were entered into and analyzed by SPSS version 16 software. Results: A total of 534 patients were investigated, of whom 84 (15.3%) had intracranial hemorrhage. Out of 84 patients with intracranial hemorrhage, 12 (2.2%) had SAH, of whom ten were male and 2 were female. Also, SAH occurred to traffic accidents, falls, and other related reasons in 7 (58.3%), 4 (33.3%), and 1 (8.3%) patients, respectively. It was also shown that 1 (8.3%), 2 (16.6%), and 9 (75%) patients with SAH had mild, moderate, and severe consciousness, respectively. Regarding the frequency of SAH-related diseases, it was shown that 2 (16.6%) and 10 (82.3%) patients were diabetic and non-diabetic, 4 (33.3%) and 8(66.6%) patients were hypertensive and non-hypertensive, and 7 (58.3%) and 5 (41.6%) patients were with and without a history of skull fractures, respectively, 12 (100%) of them had a history of coagulation disorders. Conclusions: The prevalence of intracranial hemorrhage and SAH in TBI patients is significantly high, which should be taken into consideration when performing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for these patients.
