Abstract

A prospective study of head injury admissions to a city teaching hospital over one year has shown that most were minor. Of the 918 patients, 85% were discharged within 48 hours, only 3% required definitive neurosurgical care, and the overall mortality was 2%. Most cases came to hospital after 5.00 p.m. especially at the weekend. Head injuries accounted for almost one-third of emergency admissions to male general surgical wards.

摘要

一项针对一家城市教学医院一年中头部受伤入院患者的前瞻性研究表明，大多数伤势较轻。在918名患者中，85%在48小时内出院，只有3%需要确定性的神经外科治疗，总体死亡率为2%。大多数病例在下午5点以后入院，尤其是在周末。头部受伤患者几乎占男性普通外科病房急诊入院人数的三分之一。
