Ali Hassan A. Ali* and Ali Amer Hamdi
ABSTRACT
Epidemiological tracking of traumatic brain injury (TBI) incidence, prevalence, and outcomes is essential, as traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major global public health and socioeconomic concern. One of the main causes of traumatic brain injury (TBI) among teenagers, young adults, and the elderly is motor vehicle accidents. Finding out how common TBI is in Al Kharj City is the aim of our study. It is a retrospective, study conducted among patients with TBI. There were 150 individuals with head trauma included in this study. Within 30 days after the accident, MRIs of each person's brain were performed. Throughout the hospital stay, statistical, demographic, clinical, and radiological information was acquired. Two years later, a neurocognitive exam was conducted. Major depressive illness is often noted in patients with lesions of the corpus callosum and cerebral hemisphere. After traumatic brain injury, MRI provides valuable predictive data. The hospital administration may find the data collected helpful in allocating the required resources and in launching educational initiatives among the high-risk populations.
