An investigation of 100 patients with cerebralcranial injuries has shown that male patients accounted for 86%; the major cause was traffic accident (65%) syndrome after cerebrocranical injury accounted for highest rate (43%), including common and mild or moderate disorders. The seizure as type grand mal or focal epilepsy in the first year accounted for 30%

The strategy of mental health aimed at strengthening the people mental health and reducing the morbidity rate of mental diseases with obvious causes, and preventing and controlling the mental diseases that occure in the market economy such as depression, psychotric drug abuse. The strategy also recovers the socio-psychological functions for patients with chronic mental disorders and complex causative agents

A study on the clinical epidemiology and interview of 8965 persons shown that there were 44 cases of mental retardation such as language and psychomotor retardation and difficulty in learning and working. The mental retardation related significantly with the health of pregnant women (bacterial and viral infection, poor nutrition), complications in labour (premature), obstetric interventions (forceps, suffocation), impacts after birth (meningitis, encephalitis, malnutrition, defects, epilepsy, down)

The study aimed to determine clinical and epidemiological parameters of depressive disorders in 1 rural commune, 1 urban commune and some populations (remote regional students, minor ethnic boarders, single old people, burn sequelae sufferers and people with gastroduodenal ulcer). The results showed that the pilot incidence of depression is 8.35% out of 15 years of age population in a rural commune and 4.2% in an urban commune. The pilot incidence of major depression in population-based samples is 5-9% for female and 2-3% for male. In sample of remote regional students aged 20 - 28 years of old, the incidence is similar with that in general population. In sample of minor ethnic boarders aged 14 - 19 years of old, the incidence is 23.33%. The incidence is 57.14% in the single old people, 69.7% in the burn sequelae sufferers and 93.3% in the people with gastroduodenal ulcer. 100% of patients have need of care but has been never diagnosed and treated. Manifestations of severe depression, bipolar disorder and postpartum depression are rare. Symptoms of weakness and fatigue have higher rate than typical symptoms of depression
Depressive Disorder ; diagnosis ; epidemiology

The depressive disorder is common disease in the world. In Vietnam most of patients wanted to be cured but never were diagnosed and treated. They were impacted severely on their working. The manifestations of rare severe depression comprised intention of commit suicide, behaviour of commit suicide, bipolar disorder (0.27-0.29%) weak, tired were more frequent than typical depressive disorder.

Studying on 870 workers who are working at 3 works of Thai Nguyen steel factory showed that mental-related disorder prevalence was 20.6%, in which 9.3% workers had asthenia, 7.1% had insomnia disorder, 2.2% had anxiety, 2% had depression. These rates increased with age, working duration and in the workers who have lower educational level. There are several occupational hazards could cause harm for workers: risk of getting accident in working 85.5%; boring, repetitive work 83.2%; work requires exactly observation or choice 82.1%, exhausting work 63.1%

Objective: In Viet Nam, tuberculosis (TB) prevalence surveys revealed that approximately 98% of individuals with pulmonary TB have TB-presumptive abnormalities on chest radiographs, while 32% have no TB symptoms. This prompted the adoption of the “Double X” strategy, which combines chest radiographs and computer-aided detection with GeneXpert testing to screen for and diagnose TB among vulnerable populations. The aim of this study was to describe demographic, clinical and radiographic characteristics of symptomatic and asymptomatic Double X participants and to assess multilabel radiographic abnormalities on chest radiographs, interpreted by computer-aided detection software, as a possible tool for detecting TB-presumptive abnormalities, particularly for subclinical TB. Methods: Double X participants with TB-presumptive chest radiographs and/or TB symptoms and known risks were referred for confirmatory GeneXpert testing. The demographic and clinical characteristics of all Double X participants and the subset with confirmed TB were summarized. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression modelling was used to evaluate associations between participant characteristics and subclinical TB and between computer-aided detection multilabel radiographic abnormalities and TB. Results: From 2020 to 2022, 96 631 participants received chest radiographs, with 67 881 (70.2%) reporting no TB symptoms. Among 1144 individuals with Xpert-confirmed TB, 51.0% were subclinical. Subclinical TB prevalence was higher in older age groups, non-smokers, those previously treated for TB and the northern region. Among 11 computer-aided detection multilabel radiographic abnormalities, fibrosis was associated with higher odds of subclinical TB. Discussion: In Viet Nam, Double X community case finding detected pulmonary TB, including subclinical TB. Computer-aided detection software may have the potential to identify subclinical TB on chest radiographs by classifying multilabel radiographic abnormalities, but further research is needed.
