Injuries are already a substantial public Health problem all over the world and are expected to increase in the 211st Century. They are major causes of deaths and disability in the population and also involve high societal costs.
This study was designed to assess the economic loss due to the injury and the disability days due to different types of injuries.
A systematic random sampling technique was used to select 1388 households from 19 wards. A detailed questionnaire was used to collect information related to injuries to the persons suffered from injuries including treatment obtained, cost of treatment (direct/indirect cost) and length of disability.
Among the minor injured persons, majority (93.2%) did not spend any indirect cost. 36.7% of the major inured persons spent Nepalese rupees 10,001 to NRs 100,000 as direct treatment costs. But 50% spent less than 5000 NRs as indirect cost for major injury treatment. Maximum number (67.4%) of major injured persons had disability days of 31 to 90 days.
The high incidence of injuries, especially road traffic injuries, adds a huge economic burden to nation.
伤害已经是全球一个重大的公共卫生问题，预计在21世纪还会增加。它们是导致人群死亡和残疾的主要原因，还涉及高昂的社会成本。
本研究旨在评估伤害造成的经济损失以及不同类型伤害导致的残疾天数。
采用系统随机抽样技术从19个病房中选取1388户家庭。使用详细问卷收集与受伤者伤害相关的信息，包括接受的治疗、治疗费用（直接/间接费用）和残疾时长。
在轻伤者中，大多数（93.2%）没有花费任何间接费用。36.7%的重伤者花费10,001尼泊尔卢比至100,000尼泊尔卢比作为直接治疗费用。但50%的重伤者花费不到5000尼泊尔卢比作为重伤治疗的间接费用。重伤者中残疾天数最多的（67.4%）为31至90天。
伤害的高发生率，尤其是道路交通伤害，给国家带来了巨大经济负担。
