Traumatic diaphragmatic injury (TDI) is usually associated with multiple injuries. We aimed to evaluate the patterns, injuries, and predictors of in-hospital mortality patients TDI.The trauma registry from a Primary Adult Resource Center for Trauma was queried admitted TDI January 1995 December 2009. Patient characteristics, mechanism injury, management, outcomes were analyzed. compared morbidity in left right injuries (LDI RDI, respectively).Of 773 patients, 650 male (84%), mean (SD) age 33...
Decision-making in emergency settings is inherently complex, requiring surgeons to rapidly evaluate various clinical, diagnostic, and environmental factors. The primary objective assess a patient's risk for adverse outcomes while balancing diagnoses, management strategies, available resources. Recently, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging has emerged as valuable tool enhance surgical vision, demonstrating proven benefits elective surgeries. This consensus paper provides...
Abstract Introduction : Acute cholecystitis (AC) is a prevalent condition in emergency departments (EDs). Standard care involves early laparoscopic cholecystectomy; however, cases of delayed presentation, high surgical risk, or during situations like the COVID-19 pandemic, percutaneous cholecystostomy (PC) serves as an alternative management strategy. This study reports our center’s experience with PC managing AC, providing insights from unique geographical context. Methods We conducted...
Overall traumatic brain injury (TBI) incidence and related death rates vary across different age groups. Objectives. To evaluate the incidence, causes, outcome of TBI in adolescents young adult population Qatar.This was a retrospective review all TBIs admitted to trauma center between January 2008 December 2011. Demographics, mechanism injury, morbidity, mortality were analyzed groups.A total 1665 patients with admitted; majority males (92%) mean 28 ± 16 years. The common motor vehicle...
Traumatic workplace-related injuries (WRIs) carry a substantial negative impact on the public health worldwide. We aimed to study incidence and outcomes of WRIs in Qatar. conducted occupational injury surveillance for all WRI patients between 2010 2012.

Background/objective Acute appendicitis (AA) is one of the most common surgical emergencies that require a proper diagnosis to avoid negative outcome in case missed or delayed diagnosis. Our study aims assess diagnostic power Alvarado score and prediction severity acute correlation intraoperative findings final histopathology (HP) result. Methods This retrospective was applied 1,303 patients with clinically proven available HP results. We correlated gold standard findings. selected cutoff...
Background: Motor vehicle crashes and falls account for most of the spine fractures with subsequent serious disability. Aim: To define incidence, causes, outcome spinal fractures. Materials Methods: Data were collected retrospectively from trauma registry database all traumatic injuries admitted to section surgery in Qatar November 2007 December 2009. Results: Among 3712 patients who surgery, 442 (12%) injured had a mean age 33.2 ± 12 years. The male female ratio was 11.6:1. (36.5%) height...
Trauma represents a global public health concern with an estimated 5 million deaths annually. Moreover, the incidence of blunt traumatic injuries (BTI) particularly road traffic accidents (RTAs) and workplace-related are rising throughout world-wide.We aimed to review epidemiology prevention BTI, in Arab Middle East.A traditional narrative literature was carried out using PubMed, MEDLINE EMBASE search engines. We used keywords "traumatic injuries", "blunt" "epidemiology", "Arab East" between...

We aimed to identify the pattern impact of utilization passenger restraint on outcomes MVC victims in Qatar.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted for all admitted patients who sustained MVC-related injuries between March 2011 2014 inclusive.Results: Out 2,730 road traffic injury cases, 1,830 (67%) injuries, whom 88% were young males, 70%...
Objectives. To study the effect of prehospital intubation (PHI) on survival patients with isolated severe traumatic brain injury (ISTBI). Method. Retrospective analyses all intubated ISTBI between 2008 and 2011 were studied. Comparison was made those who in PHI versus trauma resuscitation unit (TRU). Results. Among 1665 TBI patients, 160 met inclusion criteria (105 underwent PHI, 55 TRU). group younger age had lower median scene motor GCS (P = 0.001). Ventilator days hospital length stay...
Bispectral index (BIS) monitoring in multiple trauma patients has become a common practice the sedation levels. We aimed to assess utility of BIS intensive care unit (ICU).A prospective observational study was conducted ICU at Hamad General Hospital Qatar between 2011 and 2012. Patients were divided two groups: Group I (without monitoring) II (with monitoring). The depth clinically evaluated with Ramsey Sedation Scale, changes vital signs Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) level.
