Abstract Background: Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world and the impact is much worse in Pakistan. The objective of the study is to describe the epidemiological characteristics of patients with TBI in our country and to determine the immediate outcomes of patients with TBI after the presentation.Method: This retrospective study was conducted at the Lady Reading Hospital. Data were extracted from the medical record room from January 1st to December 31st, 2019. The severity of TBI was based on Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and was divided into mild (GCS 13-15), moderate (GCS 9-12), and severe TBI (GCS <8) based on the GCS. SPSS v.23 was used for data analysis. Results: Out of 5047 patients, 3689 (73.1%) males and 1358 (26.9%) females. The most commonly affected age group was 0-10 years (25.6%) and 21-30 years (20.1%). was the predominant cause of injury (38.8%, n=1960) followed by fall (32.7%, n=1649). Most (93.6%, n=4710) of the TBIs were mild. After the full initial assessment and workup, and completing all first-aid management, the immediate outcome was divided into four, most frequent (67.2%, n=3393) of which was “disposed (discharged)”, and 9.3% (n=470) were admitted for further management.Conclusion: Our study represents a relatively conclusive picture of epidemiological data on the burden of TBI in Pakistan. Although a large proportion of patients had a mild TBI, they may likely be under-diagnosed. This warrants for further investigation of MTBI in population-based studies across the globe.

Objective: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) due to transport accidents is a serious cause of death and disability. In every case, however, quick response and a proper health care are required. &nbsp; Materials and methods: We collected 10-year data retrospectively from the laboratory of forensic science and toxicology in Montana, Bulgaria with the intention to show the importance of neurosurgical care in the traumatology and its connection to mortality rate. &nbsp; Results: 124 cadavers were included with significant male predominance. The data analysis shows that the mortality rate at the hospitals without neurosurgical facilities and the mortality at the scene of the accident is the same for traffic brain injuries. Furthermore, we found that the age has no correlation with the mortality rate. &nbsp; Conclusion: Road injuries are the most common type of brain injury. We believe that the outcome of these TBIs depends on the availability of a neurosurgical unit.

The Mean

Background: Maxillofacial injuries are commonly associated with brain injuries, with the major etiological factors being traffic collision, violence, and fall from height. The incidence and etiology are important for the development of treatment and for the improvement of patient care in the future. Objective: To analyze the incidence of patterns of maxillofacial fractures with traumatic brain injuries and to measure the incidence of cause of injury, age, gender distribution, and length of stay in hospital. Materials and Methods: The present study was a retrospective study in Songklanagarind Hospital. The authors evaluated the patients that presented with a concomitant maxillofacial and traumatic brain injury in Songklanagarind Hospital between 2007 and 2016. The data were assessed using multiple logistic modeling and reported in term of percentage and corresponding 95% confidence intervals. Results: Eight hundred fifty-nine patients were studied, consisting of 73.3% male and 22.7% female. The mean age was 39.5 years. The severity of the traumatic brain injury was mild and 70.15% with associated alcohol consumption. The maxilla bone fracture was common in 49.9%. The patients with mild to moderate traumatic brain injury were related to the coronoid process of mandible and severe traumatic brain injury was related to Le Fort fracture type II and III. Conclusion: In the present study, the maxilla bone fracture was the most frequent site involved. In addition, there was an association between the severity of the head injury and the type of maxillofacial injury. Keywords: Traumatic brain injury, Maxillofacial fracture
