Abstract

Background: Injury is a growing public health problem worldwide. Deaths due to INJURIES account for 10% of the world’s mortality.More than 90% of the world’s injury deaths occur in low and middle income countries. In EGYPT, injury is a hidden epidemic and its related deaths are misclassified due to lack of accurate national data. Furthermore, as a research problem it has also been largely ignored in developing countries.Objectives: To determine the PATTERN and trend of injury from January 2002 to December 2009 among attendants at TRAUMA UNIT in Assiut university hospital in Upper EGYPT.Patients and Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted at the TRAUMA UNIT in Assiut university hospital in Upper EGYPT. All registered INJURIES during January 2002 to December 2009 were included in the study.Results: During January 2002 to December 2009, 213835 injured cases were admitted to the TRAUMA UNIT. The number of attendants increased every year from 9.3% from the total cases in all study period in 2002 up to 15.3% in 2009 with a statistically significant difference (P=0.000). Young adults aged 20 - 29 years were the most common group affected by INJURIES (22.2%). Male to female ratio was 3: 1. Falls represent one half of INJURIES (49.6%) from all attended cases, followed by exposure to inanimate mechanical forces (19.5%) and transport accidents (18.3%). Falls were ranked as the leading cause of INJURIES, while transport accidents were the second cause in 2007 - 2009.Conclusions: Trauma in Upper EGYPT is an under-recognized problem, which requires prioritized attention. Increasing the awareness of community, making policies and establishment of a trauma system are important to decrease the burden of INJURIES.
