Background and Purpose-Previous studies have identified an array of morbidities following traumatic brain injury (TBI), including certain neurological disorders. However, no direct evidence has been reported on the link between TBI and stroke. This population-based study was designed to estimate the risk of stroke during a period of 5 years following a TBI, compared with individuals who did not suffer TBI during the same period.

“…Two-wheeled vehicles were involved in accidents of the public road with 68.9% of cases. This significant proportion of motor cyclists involved in accidents of the public road wasalsoobserved in the literature with 67.5% in Benin [14], 64.5% in Taiwan [15], and 72% in Thailand [16]. This result could be explained by the uncontrolled increase of these machines.…”

Summary: Polytrauma is the leading cause of death in the under-40 population. They are accompanied by major morbidity with severe sequelae. The polytraumatized is defined as a serious trauma with several bodily injuries, at least one of which is life-threatening in the very short term. The initial hospital care must not barely delay and directly affect the prognosis. In developing countries, the absence of pre-hospital medicine means that mortality is still very high, which leads us to initiate this work, which aims to study the epidemiological and clinical aspects of polytrauma in emergency and in resuscitation of Gabriel Toure University Hospital. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective study that took place over a period of ten (10) months from February to November 2016. We included all patients received for polytrauma emergency hosting service. The data were collected using a surveycard. Results: During our study period, we collected a total of 200 polytraumatized cases out of a total of 16,141 patients admitted to the emergency hosting service, a prevalence of 1.3%. The age group of 20 -29 years was the most represented with average age of 32.39 years. The male sex was predominant with 65% with a sex ratio of 1.9. The students were the most represented with 24%. The trauma occurred at 22.5% between 8:00 and 12:00 am, the public road was the main place of the trauma with 57.5% of the cases. Two-wheeled vehicles were involved in the accident in 68.9% of cases. The delay between trauma and admission was minus 6 hours in 70.5% of cases, 15.5% had a Glasgow lessthan 8% and 44.5% PAS < 90 mmHg. The polytrauma associated with a cranial + limb and cranial + abdominal were the 158 Surgical Science most represented with respectively 37.5% and 25%. The damage control suegery was performed in 79% of patients. The mortality was 31% and hemorrhagic shock was the most common etiology of these deaths with 51.6%. Conclusion: The polytrauma is clinical situation putting the patients vital prognosis at stake. The haemorrhage is the origin of the student mortality. The installation of rigorous diagnostic system and a pre-hospital medicine will reduce the morbi-mortality.

ObjectivesAnxiety disorders (ADs) are common after traumatic brain injury (TBI). However, the risk factors of new-onset ADs remain unclear. This study was aimed at evaluating the incidence and risk factors for new-onset ADs, including pre-existing hyperlipidaemia and three major comorbidities (diabetes mellitus, hypertension and cardiovascular disease), in patients with TBI.SettingA matched cohort study was conducted using the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database between January 1997 and December 2010.ParticipantsA total of 3822 participants (1274 patients with TBI with hyperlipidaemia and 2548 age-matched and gender-matched patients with TBI without hyperlipidaemia).Outcome measuresThe incidence and HRs for the development of new-onset ADs after TBI were compared between the two groups.ResultsThe overall incidence rate of new-onset ADs for patients with TBI with hyperlipidaemia is 142.03/10 000 person-years (PYs). Patients with TBI with hyperlipidaemia have a 1.60-fold incidence rate ratio (p<0.0001) and increased HR of ADs (1.58, 95% CI 1.24 to 2.02) compared with those without hyperlipidaemia. The incidence rates of ADs for males and females with hyperlipidaemia, respectively, were 142.12 and 292.32/10 000 PYs, which were higher than those without hyperlipidaemia (93.03 and 171.68/10 000 PYs, respectively). Stratified by age group, hyperlipidaemia is a risk factor of ADs for patients with TBI aged 65 years or younger.ConclusionsPre-existing hyperlipidaemia is an independent predictor of new-onset ADs in patients with TBI, even when controlling for other demographic and clinical variables. Female patients with pre-existing hyperlipidaemia had significantly higher risk of new-onset ADs than males, especially between the ages of 35 and 65 years.
