Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to determine the computed tomography findings associated with very recent catastrophic 2023 Turkey-Syria earthquake-related injuries and their anatomotopographic distribution in the adult population.

Methods: The incorporated computed tomography scans of 768 adult cases who had been admitted to the hospital and had undergone computed tomography imaging after these tragic disasters had been examined on the Teleradiology Reporting System of the Turkish Ministry of Health. To this end, the injuries were classified into six categories: head, thoracic, spinal, pelvic, extremity, and abdominal injury, with three age groups (18-34, 35-64, and ³65 years) and four different imaging intervals (<24, 24-48, 49-72, and >72 h).

Results: This study incorporated 316 (41.1%) cases on the first day, 57 (7.5%) on the second day, 219 (28.5%) on the third day, and 176 (22.9%) on the fourth day after the earthquake or later. Of the 768 cases, 109 (14.2%) had a head injury, 100 (13.0%) had a thoracic injury, 99 (12.9%) had a spinal injury, 51 (6.6%) had a pelvic injury, 41 (5.4%) had an extremity injury, and 11 (1.4%) had an abdominal injury.

Conclusion: In these regrettable earthquake disasters, we determined a high ratio of head injuries, which was closely followed by thoracic and spinal injuries, in our preliminary outcomes for the pediatric population, Part I. The frequency of abdominal injuries was low among individuals who experienced the earthquake. Last but not least, we have noticed a higher likelihood of spinal injury in individuals older than 65 years in the studied population.

在灾难性灾害中,利用计算机断层扫描技术对地震受害者的伤情进行必要、独特和到位的评估!2023 年土耳其-叙利亚地震:第二部分。
目的:本研究旨在确定与最近发生的 2023 年土耳其-叙利亚地震相关的灾难性伤害有关的计算机断层扫描结果及其在成年人群中的解剖分布情况:本研究旨在确定与最近发生的 2023 年土耳其-叙利亚地震灾难性伤害相关的计算机断层扫描结果及其在成年人群中的解剖分布:方法:土耳其卫生部的远程放射学报告系统对这些悲剧性灾难发生后入院并接受计算机断层扫描的 768 名成人病例的计算机断层扫描结果进行了检查。为此,这些伤员被分为六类:头部、胸部、脊柱、骨盆、四肢和腹部损伤,三个年龄组(18-34 岁、35-64 岁和³65 岁)和四个不同的成像间隔(72 小时):本研究纳入了地震后第一天的 316 例(41.1%)、第二天的 57 例(7.5%)、第三天的 219 例(28.5%)和第四天或更晚的 176 例(22.9%)。在 768 个病例中,109 人(14.2%)头部受伤,100 人(13.0%)胸部受伤,99 人(12.9%)脊柱受伤,51 人(6.6%)骨盆受伤,41 人(5.4%)四肢受伤,11 人(1.4%)腹部受伤:结论:在这些令人遗憾的地震灾害中,我们对儿科人群第一部分的初步结果显示,头部受伤的比例较高,紧随其后的是胸部和脊柱受伤。最后但并非最不重要的一点是,我们注意到在所研究的人群中,65 岁以上的老年人脊柱受伤的可能性较高。
