    Abstract Purpose: This study aimed to determine how an early occupational therapy (OT) intervention affected hospital length of stay (LOS) in a sample of patients with a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).
    Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted with 2018-2020 data from a rehabilitation center at the King Saud Medical City in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The sample of 29 TBI patients included 15 experimental (prospective) group participants who received an early OT intervention and 14 control group (retrospective) participants who did not receive the intervention. The intervention provided patients with daily OT therapy based on their needs and was divided into two phases: the intensive care unit (ICU) phase and the general ward phase. The following measures were used: Glasgow Coma Scale score at admission (both groups), hospital LOS (from admission until discharge; both groups), and functional independence measures (FIM) at admission and discharge (experimental group).
    Results: Experimental group patients had a much shorter LOS (average 61.53 days) compared with the control group (mean 108.86 days). Additionally, the experimental group had a statistically significant increase in FIM scores from admission to discharge.
    Conclusions: These results suggest that providing early OT interventions to patients with moderate and severe TBIs can help decrease their LOS, which can contribute to reduced treatment costs.

    Abstract Introduction: Routine checkup is a form of preventive medicine, it's a helpful practice to promote health in the community. Studying the prevalence of routine checkup, awareness, influencing, and preventing factors for it in our community will be a helpful tool for the health authorities to promote among individuals.
    Methodology: This cross-sectional study was conducted in different locations of Riyadh using a convenience sampling technique, with sample size of 414 Saudi participants of both genders aged 36 years old and above. The data were collected through self-administered structured questionnaire with demographic variables, frequency of routine medical checkup, knowledge questions, factors that enhance or prevent individual to do routine checkup and best way to spread the awareness.
    Results: Two hundred eighty-eight (69.57%) participants knew well about routine checkup and 142 (34.3%) of them do routine medical checkup. "Lack of time" and "Laziness" were reported as the 2 most common preventing factors (46% and 45.2%), respectively, and most common reason that influenced their practice was "health concern" (77.5%) followed by "worry about chronic or serious illness" (32.4%). Participants believed that social networks (eg, twitter, Facebook, etc) and media (eg, TV, radio) are most effective ways to spread awareness of it in the community (53.86% and 52.89%, respectively).
    Conclusion: There was high level of knowledge on routine health checkup, but a low prevalence was observed in practice. Hence, more health initiatives should be taken for routine medical screening in the Saudi community.
