BACKGROUND: Bomb blast injuries result in premature deaths and burdening of
healthcare systems. The objective of this study was to explore the
characteristics and outcome of patients presenting to the emergency departments
in Pakistan with bomb blast injuries. METHODS: Active surveillance was conducted
in seven major emergency departments of Pakistan from November 2010-March 2011.
All the sites are tertiary care urban centers. All the patients who presented to
the hospital's emergency department (ED) following a bomb blast injury as per
self-report or the ambulance personnel were included in the study. Frequency of
demographics, injury pattern, and outcomes were calculated. RESULTS: A total of
103 patients with bomb blast injuries presented to the selected emergency
departments. The median age of patients was 30 years. Around three-fourth of the
patients were males (n = 74, 74.7%). Most of the bomb blast patients were seen in
Peshawar (n = 41, 39.8%) and Karachi city (n = 31, 30.1%) and the most common
mode of arrival was non-ambulance transport (n = 71, 76.3%). Upper limb injuries
(n = 12, 40%) were common in the under 18 age group and lower limb injuries (n =
31, 39.2%) in the 18 years and above group. There were a total of 8 (7.7%) deaths
reported out of these 103 patients. CONCLUSION: Bomb blast injuries in Pakistan
generally affect young males. Non-ambulance transport is the most common way to
access emergency departments (ED). Overall ED mortality is high and capturing
data during a disaster in an emergency department is challenging.
