Abstract
In a cross-sectional study, all trauma patients hospitalized for 24 hours or more over a 4-month period in Taleghani hospital, the only referral teaching centre in Kermanshah city, were studied [‎n = 779]‎. Mean age was 34.7 [‎standard deviation 19.9]‎ years. Male, unemployed and illiterate patients predominated. Road traffic accidents, falls and interpersonal violence were the most common mechanisms of injury. Among road traffic accident victims, pedestrians were the most vulnerable group. A total of 7.8% of patients died, mostly due to head injuries [‎78.7%]‎. Our findings also showed the importance of head trauma as the main anatomical site of injury
