In the period 1970-75 inclusive 5152 patients were admitted to an accident hospital after an uncomplicated injury to their head. This group was compared with the 116 patients who needed craniotomy in the same period. It is suggested that precautionary admission of patients with minor head injuries is excessive.
在1970年至1975年(含)期间,5152名头部受轻伤的患者被收治于一家事故医院。将该组患者与同期需要进行开颅手术的116名患者进行了比较。结果表明,对轻度头部受伤患者进行预防性收治的做法有些过度。
