Abstract

Background: Most industrialized and particularly developing countries suffer from traumatic brain injuries (TBIs).  It is also possible that this may result in a temporary or permanent disability.

Methodology: To determine if traumatic head injuries are associated with hemorrhagic contusions, we will collect the age, gender, and radiological characteristics of patients with head injuries. The study also aims to shed light on the process and molecular pathways responsible for hemorrhagic development to better understand the disease.

Results: Our results revealed that hemorrhage and contusions of the brain are often observed in Pakistan's population following a severe blow to the head, which result in hemorrhaging.

The hemorrhagic contusions are a common type of brain injury observed in Pakistan's population following a severe blow to the head. However, the study found that only 24.6% of patients showed signs of hemorrhagic contusion when they were examined by CT. The head injuries are the most common cause of death and disability in the most productive age group of the population. The study was conducted in Pakistan, which has an incidence rate of 50 head injuries per hundred thousand people. Motor vehicle accidents are the leading cause of brain trauma, accounting for nearly 70 percent of all head injuries each year. The study examined approximately 130 individuals, mostly male, and found that accidents involving motor vehicles were the leading cause of head injuries. The age range of 45 to 59.5 years had the highest incidence of head trauma, and only 24.6% of patients showed signs of hemorrhagic contusion when they were examined by CT.

Conclusion: In Pakistan's population, hemorrhagic contusion following a severe blow to the head is prevalent. The study provides valuable data on patients who present with head injuries, including their ages, genders, and radiological characteristics. The current study can help healthcare professionals treat patients with head injuries at the right time and improve patient outcomes.
