Other results showed that the trauma pattern was significantly associated with sex, which these findings accord closely with the results of majority of studies (17)(18)(19)(20). In our study the age group 15-24 (25.4%) accounted for the greatest amount of trauma.…”

BACKGROUND: Modern civilization and the sharp rise in living standards have led to dramatic changes in trauma pattern in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to describe the different patterns of injuries of patients attending the Emergency Department of Jazan General Hospital (JGH) in the southwest corner of Saudi Arabia. METHODS:A total number of 1 050 patients were enrolled in the study. A pre-organized data sheet was prepared for each patient attended the Emergency Department of JGH from February 2012 to January 2013. It contains data about socio-demographics, trauma data, clinical evaluation results, investigations as well as treatment strategies. RESULTS:The mean age of the patients was 25.3±16.8 years. Most (45.1%) of the patients were at age of 18-30 years. Males (64.3%) were affected by trauma more common than females. More than half (60.6%) of the patients were from urban areas. The commonest kind of injury was minor injury (60%), followed by blunt trauma (30.9%) and then penetrating trauma (9.1%). The mean time from the incident to arrival at hospital was 41.3±79.8 minutes. The majority (48.2%) of the patients were discharged after management of trivial trauma, whereas 2.3% were admitted to ICU, 7.7% transferred to inpatient wards, and 17.7% observed and subsequently discharged. The mortality rate of the patients was 2.6%.CONCLUSION: Trauma is a major health problem, especially in the young population in Saudi Arabia. Blunt trauma is more frequent than penetrating trauma, with road traffi c accidents accounting for the majority.

“…Other studies found that RTA is the most common type of injuries followed by fall that differs from our results. [2,5,8,12,16] The roads in our locality were designed and built before long time ago, and now they cannot accommodate this large number of cars, which lead to increased accidents. The assault was the third most common type of blunt trauma owing to the weak law, the deteriorating security situation and control of the tribal style led to a significant increase in the proportion of brawls.…”

Interview was done for all the patients who presented to the emergency department of the AL Basrah General Hospital with a history of trauma.
