The occurrence of three or more of the following signs and symptoms, such as headache, dizziness, exhaustion, irritability, sleeplessness, difficulties in concentrating, or memory problems, following a head injury is referred to as post-concussion syndrome (PCS). Even though post-concussion syndrome has not been studied in Ethiopia, the productive age group is frequently affected by health issues related to head trauma, which either directly or indirectly affect the growth of the nation.
To assess the prevalence and associated factors of post-concussion syndrome among patients with traumatic brain injury at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Hospital, Debre Tabor, North Central Ethiopia.
A successive sampling technique was used to conduct a hospital-based cross-sectional study on 405 traumatic brain injury patients at Debre Tabor Comprehensive Hospital from January 1, 2022, to May 30, 2022. SPSS version 25 was used to analyze the data. The factors connected to post-concussion syndrome were found using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis. Statistical significance was determined by a -value of ≤ 0.05.
During the data collection period, 405 cases in total were interviewed, with a 98% response rate. More than half (60.7%) of patients were married, with the majority of patients (39.8%) falling between the ages of 18 and 29. At least three post-concussion syndrome symptoms were present in 42.8% of subjects. A history of comorbidities, GCS levels of 8 or below, 9 to 12 at the time of presentation, brain neuroimaging findings, and having fair or poor social support were found to be substantially linked with PCS in multivariate logistic regression.
About 41.5% of study participants had at least three symptoms of PCS. The Glasgow coma scale level at the time of presentation, the reason for the injury, social support, and the site of the injury were all significantly associated with the occurrence of PCS.
头部受伤后出现以下三种或更多体征和症状，如头痛、头晕、疲惫、易怒、失眠、注意力不集中或记忆问题，被称为脑震荡后综合征（PCS）。尽管埃塞俄比亚尚未对脑震荡后综合征进行研究，但生产年龄组经常受到与头部创伤相关的健康问题影响，这直接或间接影响国家的发展。
评估埃塞俄比亚中北部德布雷塔博尔综合医院创伤性脑损伤患者中脑震荡后综合征的患病率及相关因素。
采用连续抽样技术，于2022年1月1日至2022年5月30日在德布雷塔博尔综合医院对405例创伤性脑损伤患者进行基于医院的横断面研究。使用SPSS 25版分析数据。通过二元和多变量逻辑回归分析确定与脑震荡后综合征相关的因素。统计学显著性通过≤0.05的P值确定。
在数据收集期间，共访谈了405例患者，应答率为98%。超过一半（60.7%）的患者已婚，大多数患者（39.8%）年龄在18至29岁之间。42.8%的受试者至少出现三种脑震荡后综合征症状。在多变量逻辑回归中，共病病史、入院时格拉斯哥昏迷量表（GCS）评分为8分或更低、9至12分、脑神经影像学检查结果以及社会支持良好或较差与脑震荡后综合征显著相关。
约41.5%的研究参与者至少有三种脑震荡后综合征症状。入院时的格拉斯哥昏迷量表水平、受伤原因、社会支持和受伤部位均与脑震荡后综合征的发生显著相关。
