Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the demographic characteristics and mortalityof the pediatric head trauma patients who presented to the emergency department. Materials and Methods: This retrospective observational study was performed in the tertiary care emergency department. All pediatric head trauma patients admitted to the emergency department between 1.12.2009- 31.12.2010 were included in the study. Patients’ demographic data, head computed tomography (CT) results and mortality rates were evaluated. Results: Four thousand, two hundred fifty seven patients were included in the study. One thousand, five hundred sixty three were girls and 2694 were boys. The mean age was 6.3±5.16, and the most frequent age range of trauma was 0-2 years (infancy). The major etiologic factor was falling down. Of the 4208 patients, (98.8%) were exposed to mild head trauma according to the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score. The most frequent CT finding in 114 (3.2%) of patients was skull base fracture. Conclusion: Most of the pediatric head traumas were minor head injuries. Furthermore, most of them were falls from heights. The 0-2 aged patients especially were exposed to head trauma, unlike the literature. Motor vehicle accidents were the leading cause of trauma between 10-14 years pediatric patients in whom the clinical status becomes more critical. The most common cause of death was motor vehicle accidents in the study and the most lethal CT finding was subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada kafa travması nedeniyle acil servise getirilen pediatrik hastaların demografik özelliklerinin analizi ve mortalite oranları belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Bu çalışmaya, 1.12.2009-31.12.2010 tarihleri arasında üçüncü basamak bir acil servise kafa travması nedeni ile getirilen, pediatrik hastalar alındı. Hastaların demografik verileri ve bilgisayarlı beyin tomografi (BBT) sonuçları geriye dönük değerlendirildi. Olguların cinsiyetleri, yaşları, geçirdikleri travmanın tipi, Glaskow Koma Skala (GKS) skorları, BBT’leri ve mortalite ile ilgili veriler değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya 4257 hasta (1563 kız, 2694 erkek) dahil edildi. Olguların yaş ortalaması 6.3±5.16 olup, travmanın en sık görüldüğü yaş aralığı 0-2 yaş (bebeklik dönemi) idi. Etiyolojik nedenler incelendiğinde ilk sırada düşmenin yer aldığı görüldü. Hastaların 4208’inin (%98.8) GKS’ye göre hafif kafa travmasına maruz kaldığı saptandı. En sık görülen BBT bulgusu 114 (%3.2) hasta ile kafa kaide kırığı idi. Sonuç: Pediatrik kafa travmalarının çoğu basit kafa travması olup en sık travma nedeni ise düşmelerdir. Bizim çalışmamızda literatürden farklı olarak kafa travmaları özelikle 0-2 yaş grubunda artış göstermektedir. Özelikle 10-14 yaş grubunda trafik kazaları ilk sıraya yerleşmekte, klinik tablo daha ağır olmaktadır. Çalışmamızda en sık ölüm nedeni trafik kazaları olmakla beraber en ölümcül BBT sonucu subaraknoid kanama bulunmuştur.
