- W3122778981 abstract "BACKGROUND Study of medicolegal autopsies (MLA) in an area helps to equip policy makers about the nature and pattern of preventable deaths in that area. OBJECTIVE To review the pattern of MLA seen in a typical Nigerian population. METHODOLOGY The duplicate copies of the autopsy reports issued over 12 years, were retrieved and analyzed for age, sex, cause of death, autopsy diagnosis and circumstances of death. RESULTS A total of 1, 664 MLA were done during the period. The mean age of cases seen was 39.10±17.02, with a male to female ratio of 3.6: 1. All age groups were seen with age groups 20-29 and 30-39 years accounting for majority of cases. Homicidal deaths (45.4%) was the commonest manner of deaths, followed by accidental deaths (32.5%). There was a significant association between manner of death and sex. Sixty-two point nine percent of the homicidal deaths were due to firearm injuries. In both sexes, road traffic accident (RTA) was the major cause of accidental deaths accounting for 82.8%. There was no significant association between type of accidental death and sex, though the male to female ratio was 3.3:1. Hanging was the method of choice for suicide and accounted for 68.4% of all suicides. Cardiovascular system diseases accounted for most cases of natural deaths (59.9%), with myocardial infarction being responsible for 29.1% of all natural deaths. CONCLUSION Unfortunately, preventable deaths due to homicides by firearm injuries and accidental deaths due to RTA are still prevalent in our environment and mainly involves young people." @default.
