| Abstract | The Prince of Wales Hospital (PWH) is the teaching hospital of the Chinese University of Hong Kong. It is one of the major medical centres in Hong Kong and has 1400 beds. The neurosurgical service of the PWH has a catchment population of 1.5 million - one quarter of the Hong Kong population. During the five years from January 1989 to December 1993, there were more than 9000 head injury admissions to the neurosurgery service. This number of head-injured patients has given the opportunity to study the features of head injury. Since the PWH has a catchment area of one quarter of Hong Kong's population, the results of this study should also reflect many of the general features of head injury in Hong Kong. |
