The earthquake measured 6.6 on the Richter scale and caused extensive damage to buildings, urban facilities and roadways. This report describes injuries among Barn earthquake victims in the Barn who were transferred to Imam Hospital in Tehran.
Methods: The medical records of 230 trauma patients transferred to Imam General Hospital from 26th till 29th December 2003 were reviewed.
Results: From 230 referred patients 193 were admitted, 115 of them (59.5%) were male. Sixty-five patients (33.6%) were less than 16 years of age. The most important problems in the patients were extremity injuries. Because of acute renal failure, four (8%) out of 50 patients with crush syndrome required hemodialysis. Two patients were died.
