伤害是卡塔尔国死亡率和发病率的一大负担。卡塔尔国没有对所有类型的伤害进行全面研究。这项研究的目的是确定卡塔尔国受伤人数、发生率和模式的趋势。这项以医院为基础的研究回顾性分析了2006年至2010年期间在事故和急诊以及创伤中心接受治疗的53，366名患者。根据ICD 10标准确定损伤。涉及职业/家庭伤害的所有创伤患者的详细信息摘自哈马德医疗公司紧急医疗服务（EMS）数据库。我们的研究结果表明，在五年期间，卡塔尔国的受伤率保持相对稳定。受伤风险最高的是30岁以下的非卡塔尔男性。道路交通事故（RTA）（36.7%），其次是福尔斯导致背部受伤（11.0%）是这一时期最常见的伤害类型。男性（17.7%）和女性（13.5%）的大多数伤害发生在头部;所有年龄组的情况都是如此。RTA（21.2%）、工业机械伤害（16.4%）、建筑伤害（15.5%）、休闲运动伤害（20.5%）和海滩/大海/海洋伤害（15.0%）中最大比例的伤害是头部伤害。在卡塔尔国，干预工作的目标必须是减少职业伤害、RTA伤害和与工作有关的危害。
Injuries account for a large burden of mortality and morbidity in the State of Qatar. No comprehensive study has been conducted on all types of injuries in the State of Qatar. The objective of this study was to determine the trend in the number, incidence and pattern of injuries in the State of Qatar. This hospital-based study is a retrospective analysis of 53,366 patients treated at the accident and emergency and trauma centres for injuries during the period from 2006 to 2010. Injuries were determined according to the ICD 10 criteria. The details of the entire trauma patients who were involved in occupational/domestic injuries were extracted from the database of the Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Hamad Medical Corporation. Our results demonstrated that the rates of injury remained relatively stable in the State of Qatar over the fiveyear period. Those most at risk of injury were non-Qatari males who were below 30 years. Road traffic accidents (RTA) (36.7%) followed by falls causing back injuries (11.0%) were the most common types of injuries during the period. Most of the injuries occurred at the head for both males (17.7%) and females (13.5%); this was consistently the case across all of the age groups. The greatest proportion of RTA (21.2%), industrial machinery injuries (16.4%), construction injuries (15.5%), recreational sporting injuries (20.5%) and beach/sea/ocean injuries (15.0%) resulted in head injuries. Intervention efforts need to be aimed at reducing occupational injuries, RTA injuries and workrelated hazards in the State of Qatar.
