ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Traumatic injuries are a major public health problem, being one of the main causes of death, the subsequent decline in the quality of life of the patients involved, as well as the costs of hospitalization in the health system. Material andMethod:
We conducted a 5-year retrospective study on 798 hospitalized patients with traumatic injuries, by collecting a series of general, clinical, imaging and biological parameters.Results:
The results showed a higher proportion of male patients, the main lesion mechanism being represented by road accidents, followed by falls from another level. The most common traumatic intraabdominal parenchymal lesions were splenic, followed by hepatic and renal lesions. In addition to intraabdominal trauma, the lesion balance also included thoracic, spinal cord, head and limb injuries. A total of 288 patients underwent emergency surgery, but there were also cases of delayed surgical procedures or reoperations. We had 67 deceased patients.Conclusions:
Trauma is a major public health problem, both socially and economically, being responsible for a significant number of deaths, but also in terms of the significant number of hospitalizations and the subsequent impact on the quality of life of those involved.Palabras clave
