| Gaia: | Since 1996 (2052 BS) TUTH and BPH encountered unusual increase in case of political conflict victims. Total of 806 cases (218 general citizens and 588 police force) attending the hospitals were studied retrospectively. Mid-west and central regions of Nepal were mostly affected by the conflict. Exclusively males of active age group were victim. Mainly farmers were victimized persistently through-out the insurgency. generally violence was inflicted on people in solitude while they were at home while majority of police force were on duty when they got injured. Mode of injury was significantly different. Blunt and sharp-cut injury was main mode of injury among general people (71%), and that of police force was blast and gunshot injury (93%). more serve injury with more than two parts involvement. Though the incidence of bone fracture was significantly high in general people, cases with grade II and III open fracture were significantly more among the police. ratio of critical area wound to limbs was 0.78, higher than other studies. Evacuation of cases from the site of injury and their transport was earlier in police than general citizen. First aid treatment was better among the general people (76.6%) compared to police (49.5%). Conditions of the cases at the time of discharge was better among the police. Similarly, functional outcome was also better among the police. The study suggest that mode and severity of injury, involvement of parts, outcomes of treatment are different among the general citizen and police force. |
