Background : Injury management and trauma registry are undeveloped in many Low- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs). The objectives of the study were to assess the injury pattern and compare physical assault with other mechanisms of injury in this region. Materials and methods : A cross sectional study was conducted among trauma patients attending in the Emergency Department (ED) of the largest tertiary referral centre in the South-Eastern Bangladesh from 1-15 September, 2019. Patients’ demography, time of arrival in the ED, time of injury, occupation, residence, mechanism, type, mode and site of injury, and outcome were analysed and compared between physical assault and other mechanisms of injury. Results : Among a total of 839 patients, males were 2.42 times more than females. Age ranged from 3 months to 100 years, median 27 years. Majority (52.7%) of the patients belonged to ages between 20 and 40 years. The most common mechanisms of injury were physical assault (230, 27.4%), Road-Traffic Accident (RTA) (196, 23.4%) and falls (146, 17.4%). Physical assault was the commonest mechanism (39.2%) in female and among all age groups except in more than 70 years of old. More physical assaults occurred at night than other mechanism (p<0.01). There was significant difference in site of injury between physical assault and other mechanisms (p<0.01). 62% injuries were blunt in nature. There were 7 (0.8%) mortalities. Conclusion : This study highlights physical assault as the most common mechanism of injury especially among young adults and females. Period of occurrence, sites and nature of injury were different from other mechanisms. IAHS Medical Journal Vol 5(1), June 2022; 32-37

“…Blunt force abdominal trauma is a typical emergency room presentation in both adults and children (1) . The spleen and liver are the most often injured organs after acute abdominal trauma, accounting for around 85 percent of all abdominal injuries (2) . 70 percent of spleen, liver, and kidney injuries may be treated conservatively, but hollow organs (such as the intestines) almost always require laparotomy (3) .…”

Background: Blunt force abdominal trauma is a typical emergency room presentation in both adults and children. Trauma is widely acknowledged as one of the primary causes of illness and mortality in poor nations, as well as the greatest cause of death in those under the age of 45.Objectives: This study aims to study the diagnostic evaluation of blunt abdominal trauma scoring system (BATSS) in patients with blunt abdominal trauma in Zagazig University Hospital. Patients and methods: This study was conducted on 48 patients suffering from blunt abdominal trauma in Emergency Department of Zagazig University Hospital from January 2021 to June 2021. Result: The mean age of patients in the study was 25.87±10.7 years (range 17-61 years). Of the forty eight patients in the study there were 13 females (27.1%) and thirty five males (72.9%).There was statistically significant difference between blunt abdominal trauma scoring system (BATSS) and types of injury p<0.001. There was no statistically significant difference between blunt abdominal trauma scoring system (BATSS) and each of patients' sex and causes of injury p>0.05. Conclusion: The BATSS score system can be used as an initial screening to predict blunt abdominal trauma outcome and can be the basis of management in patients who experience blunt abdominal trauma.
