Abstract
Background & Objectives: Delayd post-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (DTICH) is a kind of brain hemorrhage which occurs after the first six hours of the head trauma, and is not detected in the initial CT Scan taken from the patient in the first 6 hours after the trauma. As DTICH is one of the most important factors in occurance of secondary brain injuries in patients with head trauma, its early diagnosis and treatment could significantly decrease mortality and morbidity of these patientes. This diagnosis is a contraindication to anti-coagulant therapy. This study was conducted to determine the frequency of factors associated with DTICH incidence. Methods: This was a case-control study conducted in Semnan trauma center. In this research all the patients with head trauma who referred to Emdad hospital between 2002 and 2004 were studied and the data about the delayed post-traumatic intracranial hemorraege (20 cases) were included. Then, beside determining the incidence of DTICH in the patients with hemorrhage, some risk factors such as headache, contusion, reduction level of conciousness, skull fracture and impact intensity to the head were compared with a control group (40 cases) who had head trauma without primary or delayed hemorrhage. The groups were age and sex-matched. The data were analyzed using Chi-aquare and computing odds ratio. Results: This study showed that the frequency of DTICH was 10.6%. There was a meaningful relationship between DTICH and skull fracture, reduction of conciousness level, contusion and impact intensity. But, there was no meaningful relationship between DTICH and intractable headache. Conclusions: The results indicated that cases such as skull fracture, contusion, impact intensity and findings such as the reduction of consciousness in patients with head trauma (with no hemorrhage in the first CT scan), can be the risk factors for DTICH.

Abstract
Background: Tooth decay directly and indirectly affects the national economy of some countries. These diseases reduce the number and productivity of the workforce. Medical expenses eat up savings and investments. All these factors reduce the earning power of individuals and households and affect the national economy, so an important part of the social and economic consequences of dental caries is the impact on savings at the household level and national income or gross domestic product at the national level.
Methods: The present study was descriptive, analytical and cross-sectional. The study sample was 260 6-year-old children and 260 adults who were referred to dental centers in 1401, and were randomly selected. The patients with tooth decay received services from the health and treatment centers of Ardabil city.
Results: The total cost of dental services related to tooth decay in 6-year-old children of Ardabil city was equal to 22543323 rials for one tooth, of which 94.23% of these costs are related to direct medical costs, 2.2% to indirect medical costs and 3.57% is related to non-medical indirect costs. The total cost of dental services related to tooth decay in the adult population of Ardabil city was estimated as 3,227,897 rials for one tooth, of which 95.93% of costs are direct medical costs, 2.43% of costs are direct non-medical costs, and 1.65% of costs are indirect costs.
Conclusion: Considering the high prevalence of tooth decay in 6-year-old children and adults in Ardabil city, its treatment imposes a significant part of the costs on Ardabil households, and the limited supply of dental services in the public health sector and the lack of insurance support in paying the costs have caused that families often pay for private services out of their own pockets.
