Head injuries contribute to almost 50% of all injuries. Head injuries are still one of the major causes of loss of life and loss of function among young adults. Nowadays, head injury has become a major community problem. Recently, head injury has become one of the biggest issues of almost more than 57 million people in the whole world living with the neurological problem raised by TBI, in which 10 million people require hospital base care.
To determine the epidemiological aspects of patients with head injury (HI) in Aseer Central Hospital (ACH).
This is a retrospective cross-sectional study. Data were gathered from patients' files and the registrar's database of ACH. The study duration was January 2015-December 2017. All patients with head injury admitted to ACH during the study duration were included in the study. SPSS software was used for analysis. Descriptive statistics were obtained (mean SD frequencies, percentages). Statistical tests, t test, and chi-squared test were applied to measure the significant difference among the variables. P-value less than 0.05 was considered as a significant difference.
There were 353 patients with head injury, and the mean ± SD of age was 27.01 ± 13.9. Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) accounted for (89.3%) of head injury. A total of 87.3% of the patients were male while 12.7% were female.
In this study, we observed that MVA is the leading cause of brain/head injuries in the KSA, despite the implementations of new speed rules. However, with new regulations of forbidding cell phone use while driving and forcing the seat belt regulations, a major impact on these numbers is expected in the future. Thus, a future study is recommended to assess these expectations.
头部损伤几乎占所有损伤的50%。头部损伤仍是年轻人死亡和功能丧失的主要原因之一。如今，头部损伤已成为一个重大的社区问题。最近，头部损伤已成为全球超过5700万人因创伤性脑损伤引发的神经问题而面临的最大问题之一，其中1000万人需要住院治疗。
确定阿西尔中心医院（ACH）头部损伤（HI）患者的流行病学特征。
这是一项回顾性横断面研究。数据收集自ACH患者档案和登记员数据库。研究时间为2015年1月至2017年12月。研究期间所有入住ACH的头部损伤患者均纳入研究。使用SPSS软件进行分析。获得描述性统计数据（均值±标准差、频率、百分比）。应用统计检验、t检验和卡方检验来测量变量之间的显著差异。P值小于0.05被视为有显著差异。
有353例头部损伤患者，年龄均值±标准差为27.01±13.9。机动车事故（MVA）占头部损伤的89.3%。患者中87.3%为男性，12.7%为女性。
在本研究中，我们观察到尽管实施了新的限速规定，但在沙特阿拉伯王国，机动车事故仍是脑/头部损伤的主要原因。然而，随着禁止开车时使用手机和强制系安全带规定的新法规出台，预计未来这些数字将受到重大影响。因此，建议未来进行一项研究来评估这些预期。
