Abstract

Background: Trauma remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Generally, the incidence of traumatic injuries is disproportionately high in males. However, trauma in females is underreported.

Aim: To study the epidemiology and outcome of different mechanisms and types of traumatic injuries in women.

Methods: We conducted a traditional narrative review using PubMed, MEDLINE and EMBASE, searching for English-language publications for gender-specific trauma between January 1993 and January 2013 using key words "trauma", "gender", "female" and "women".

Results: Among 1150 retrieved articles, 71 articles were relevant over 20 years. Although it is an important public health problem, traumatic injuries among females remain under-reported.

Conclusion: There is a need for further research and evaluation of the exact burden of traumatic injuries among females together with the implementation of effective community based preventive programs.

女性创伤:性别重要吗?

背景:创伤仍然是世界范围内发病率和死亡率的主要原因之一。一般来说，男性创伤性损伤的发生率高得不成比例。然而，女性的创伤被低估了。目的:探讨女性创伤性损伤不同机制和类型的流行病学及预后。方法:使用PubMed、MEDLINE和EMBASE进行传统的叙事回顾，检索1993年1月至2013年1月间以“trauma”、“gender”、“female”和“women”为关键词的关于性别创伤的英文出版物。结果:在1150篇检索文献中，71篇与20年相关。尽管这是一个重要的公共卫生问题，但女性外伤的报告仍然很少。结论:有必要进一步研究和评估女性外伤的确切负担，并实施有效的社区预防方案。
