Accidents and trauma are the most common causes of death in the young Nigerian male. Due to inadequate facilities for recovering the injured, patients with major vascular injuries fail to reach the hospital alive. The incidence of vascular injury in the Nigerian population should be higher than is reflected in this study. Late presentation to the hospital results in the greater number of patients with traumatic aneurysms. Improvement in ambulance and hospital services for the injured will facilitate earlier detection and treatment of vascular injuries, improve the mortality rate, and limit the late sequelae of vascular injuries.
事故和创伤是尼日利亚年轻男性最常见的死因。由于用于救治伤者的设施不足，患有严重血管损伤的患者无法活着抵达医院。尼日利亚人群中血管损伤的发生率应该高于本研究中所反映的情况。患者延迟就医导致创伤性动脉瘤患者数量较多。改善针对伤者的救护车和医院服务将有助于更早地发现和治疗血管损伤，提高死亡率，并限制血管损伤的后期后遗症。
