Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 1
Abstract
Head injury is a major health problem and common cause of disability and death. In developing countries like India the incidence of traumatic brain injury is increasing as traffic increases, besides other puzzling factors such as industrialization, falls and airborne trauma. CT facilitates a comprehensive diagnosis and targeted interventions. In this study the incidence of traumatic brain injuries is common among the 21-40 years (48.9%) of age group followed by 41-60 years age group (28.3%) and below 20 years age group (11.7%). The incidence among the above 61 years age group is 11.2%. In this study we found significant association between age group and outcome of the patient. Surprisingly no mortality was found in patients below 20 years age group. Out of 28 deaths high mortality rate found among older people >61 years of age, 15 deaths noted in these age group (60%). Mortality rate in 41-60 years age group is 12.7% (8 deaths out of 28).
