Abstract

Trauma is the leading cause of death and disabilities especially among youth and in a country like the U.S, it causes economic harms forseveral billion dollars. In this study we decided to evaluate some direct and indirect economic CONSEQUENCES of trauma morbidity and mortality in Tehran. In this study, all information of trauma patients who were admitted in 6 large hospitals during 13 months for data gathering process, were gathered by trained physicians according to International Classification of Disease 10th revision (lCD-10). For this article we have focused on information of working population older than 18years old and we will discuss job-related problems in children and teenagers in another article.From 8000 trauma patients, 3509 cases were entered the analysis for this article. Three forth of them were men and mean age of the patients was 32 years old. Simple/construction workers had the highest rate of job-related injuries (35.3%) and vehicle related injuries (54.4%) and fall (22.1 %) were the most common mechanism of injury in this group. Approximately 65% of the patients in this study had no insurance coverage. Mean hospitalization cost for nearly 1 week of admission was 100,000 Tomans and patients had suffered from temporary DISABILITY for nearly 40 days. Unfortunately 115 deaths occurred among the patients. Estimation of some portion of direct and indirect health showed that community suffered nearly 3 Milliard Tomans only costs in these 115 cases. Similar estimate of health costs for live trauma patients resulted in more than 24 billions Tomans.Huge harmful effects of trauma on economy of the community have made implementation of comprehensive injury prevention protocols inevitable.
