Abstract
It was concluded that there was a strong relation between substance abuse and occurrence of injuries. Accidental injuries were significantly higher than homicidal ones. Road traffic accidents were the most common causes of these injuries. Poly-substance users were commonly subjected to traumatic injuries. Cannabis was the most prevalent substance of abuse in the studied injured patients. No significant association was found between number of abused substances and cause or manner of injury. A strong significant statistical negative correlation was found between Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and prehospitalization period as well as injury severity score (ISS). A strong significant statistical positive correlation was found between injury severity score (ISS) and prehospitalization period. No statistical correlation was found between injury severity score (ISS) or Glasgow coma scale (GCS) with age or number of abused substances. No significant association between GCS grades or different ISS with cause, manner of injury or the affected body regions.
