BACKGROUND OF STUDY: For the past 10 years, accidents and trauma are ranking third
in the cause of Mongolian population’s death. Russian scientists have defined that skull
and brain trauma comprise of 40% of the total traumas and is one of the serious injuries
that have damaging effect to the health. Defining its creation, injury period, death
cause in the leading direction of science of forensic medicine in our country are still the
urgent issues. Nowadays little research which studied case mortality due to accident
and trauma has been studied, this became background of our research work.
PURPOSE OF STUDY: To study cause and peculiarity of pathology of case mortality due
to brain trauma, in the condition of our country and to consider the result.
OBJECTIVE OF STUDY:
To study the cause, some risks of head injury.
To define pathology of case mortality due to head injury.
MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY: We did retrospective study in 555 case material of an
autopsy of case mortality of head injury of forensic medicine and research department
of national institute of forensic science. Statistical work out was done by Microsoft excel
and extensive index.
RESULT OF STUDY: 84.5% (n=459) is male and 15.5% (n=86) is female out of our 555 involved
cases and the gender ratio is 5:1. The most or 81% of the research participants
had head injuries due to hitting with firm and dull stuffs and 15.9% head injury as a result
of traffic accident follows in the second place. To analyze from the characteristics of
mortality, 93% is subarachnoid hemorrhage, subdural, epidural hematoma, 64% is brain
tissue injury were detected.
CONCLUSION: Young manhood men mortality that has head injury resulted from the
firm and dull things occupies most of the percentage in our research. The head injury
can lead to the mortality of his ordinary process.

Background:
Postpartum readmission rate has been increasing after both caesarean and vaginal delivery.
Postpartum diseases, in some cases with infection and anemia, result in hospital readmission. Also
it raises the issue associated with maternal hospital’s healthcare quality. There has lack of study
focusing on postpartum readmission. So we will study postpartum readmission rate.
Material and Methods:
112 patients who readmitted in Amgalan maternity hospital in Ulaanbaatar were involved in this study.
We used patient’s medical history to determine risk factors resulted in hospital readmission after
caesarean and vaginal therapy.
Results:
The mean age of women delivered by cesarean was 30.2±7.32 and vaginal delivery’s was 28.3±7.21.
34.8 percent of women who readmitted after vaginal delivery had 1-3 readmission days and 56.5
percent was 4-6 days and 8.7 percent was 7-10 days. Readmission day for women delivered
by caesarean was 1-3 days in 21.2 percent of these, 4-6 days in 56.1 percent and 7-10 days in
19.7 percent. The mean readmission day of women delivered by vaginal delivery was 4.73±1.61
(mean±SD) and the mean of women delivered by caesarean delivery was 5.54±2.34 (mean±SD). In
each category, there had 24.2-28.3 percent cases with lochia. Women who had caesarian delivery
were infected their scar with 24(36.3) cases. Renal urinary system infection had in 12(26.0) women
delivered by vaginal delivery.
Conclusion
58.9 percent of total readmissions cases were caesarean and 41.1 percent was vaginal delivery.
Lochia and renal urinary infection had influence in readmission after vaginal delivery. Also both lochia
and infected wound impacted on postpartum readmission after caesarian delivery.
