“…The results also showed that the most common cause of head trauma is accidents and then falling. These results are consistent with the findings of Beigzadeh et al's study [ 3 ]. Among all kinds of trauma, head trauma is always dangerous to humans.…”

“…In developing countries, trauma is the leading cause of death among teens and youths and also leading cause of disability and health related economic losses in most of such countries [ 3 ]. Trauma literally means the damage and injury, and head injury was defined as physical damage to the brain or skull caused by external forces [ 4 , 5 ], and in terms of medical science, trauma referred to any blunt and penetrating injury or damage to body organs which occurred intentionally or unintentionally due to external factors including traffic trauma (accident), poisoning, falls, drowning, and other mechanisms [ 6 , 7 ].…”

Background and Purpose. Trauma is the leading cause of death for youth in developing countries. Given the prevalence of head trauma (HT) in society and its complication and burden, the epidemiologic study of head trauma is necessary and is the main aim of this study. Materials and Methods. This retrospective population-based survey describes the epidemiology of head injury in a defined population in Ardabil city. It includes all 204 patients with head injury referred to the University Hospital of Ardabil, Iran, during 2013-2014. Data were collected by a checklist and analyzed by statistical methods in SPSS.19. Significance level p < 0.05 was considered. Results. Of all registered cases, 146 (71.6%) were male and the rest of them were female. Most of HT patients lived in Ardabil city (60.8%). The mean age of patients was 22.6 ± 25.9 and most of victims were young. 24.5% of traumatic patients have injuries in severe to critical level (grade 3-4). The most cause of trauma was accidents (41.7%). Most of injuries occurred in night (55.9%) and in summer season (42.2%). Causes were traffic accident in 41.7%. Conclusion. Results showed that the leading cause of head trauma especially in the warm seasons is accidents and so, designing programs to reduce road accidents can dramatically reduce the rate of trauma in the future in Ardabil province.

“…Most of the cases of head injury documented in this study were due to road traffic accidents (85%). This finding is consistent with the rising incidence of road traffic accidents in our country and other parts of Africa (13,14,17,18) and other findings outside Africa (19,20). Road transport remains the major mode of transportation in Nigeria but it is still associated with limitations such as bad roads, poor vehicle's maintenance culture, poor adherence to safety road use.…”

Background: Trauma is the leading cause of death among teens and youth in the developing countries. Head injury accounts for nearly onethird of all trauma deaths and is the leading cause of disability and economic loss. The aim was to study the aetiological pattern of head injury and to highlight the burden of the aetiological factors in our setting. Materials and method: A prospective study on patients admitted with traumatic brain injury at Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi, a tertiary hospital located in North-eastern Nigeria with neurosurgical services being rendered to her primary and referred patients. Data were collected using structured proforma and were analysed using SPSS version 20 software. Descriptive statistics expressed in mean, frequency and percentages. Results: Five hundred and thirty-seven patients were recruited into the study.

“…Sendo a principal causa de morte entre jovens do 1 aos 44 anos de vida, principalmente do sexo masculino, com 25 a 50% destas mortes sendo evitáveis, o trauma é classificado como qualquer dano ou lesão, contuso ou penetrante, causado intencionalmente ou não por agentes externos, como colisões entre veículos, armas brancas ou de fogo (AHUN et al, 2014;BEIGZADEH et al, 2016).…”

“…Em diversos países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil, a utilização destes índices ainda é pouco frequente, fato que reflete nos altos índices de mortalidade intra-hospitalar e no maior tempo de permanência destes pacientes no hospital. Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), mais de 90% dos casos de trauma que chegam aos serviços resultam na morte do paciente, dado que ilustra a extrema necessidade do aumento da qualidade do cuidado prestado a este público, bem como a maior aplicação e realização de pesquisas na área (WHO, 2009;BEIGZADEH et al, 2016;AHUN, 2014).…”

Este estudo tem por objetivo o desenvolvimento de uma aplicação tecnológica para auxiliar no gerenciamento médico para atendimento de casos de urgências traumáticas com recursos de vigilância e alertas de deterioração clínica e disfunções orgânicas, baseadas nos sinais vitais e resultados de exames laboratoriais. Trata-se de um estudo misto, com o desenvolvimento de um módulo de software para sistemas web e a análise dos dados retrospectivos com quase 21 mil casos atendidos entre 2006 e 2014. Serão apresentados os resultados de desenvolvimento de um sistema, capaz de reunir informações clínicas e laboratoriais para criar alertas sobre a evolução do quadro clínico do paciente. Após busca na literatura, foram encontradas diversas variáveis fisiológicas e índices de trauma que tornaram possível desenvolver uma interface que reúne todos os dados de uma maneira clara e de fácil entendimento. Utilizando o desvio de normalidade de cada parâmetro fisiológico, foi criado um alerta visual, indicando melhora ou deterioração do quadro clínico. Além disso, em segundo plano são realizadas buscas por padrões de valores e séries temporais correlacionados com óbito para realizar predição em forma de alertas..
