Abstract

Head Injuries (HI) are one of the most frequently occurring incidents in the world. These types of injuries are the third leading cause of death in the world, and the disabilities following injuries are serious enough to be considered important. Due to the limitations of the treatment, it seems that the best approach is primary treatment or prophylaxis or at least preventing the CNS complications of HI. 993 patients with HI who were admitted to the Shahid Rahnemoon Hospital in YAZD between 1998 - 1999 were included in this cross - sectional study. Information was gathered via questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS program. The mean age of the patients was 25.38 years and 71.3% of them were male. The leading cause of HI according to the frequency was MOTORCYCLE accidents (43.4%), then falls (24.9%) and automobile accidents (22.3%). The falling was the primary cause of death among children, and the leading cause of death in both sexes was MOTORCYCLE accident. The highest rate of mortality was observed in MOTORCYCLE accidents (37%). The highest mortality rate was recorded in the pedestrian group(50%). This study points out the bitter fact that MOTORCYCLE accidents are the leading cause of HI in YAZD. This mode of transportation with minimum safety specifications is used by many families in their daily activities. Therefore, riding motorcycles usually pose a serious threat to the lives of both the motor rider and pedestrians.
