Negative Factors Influencing Multiple-Trauma Patients

Background and objectives: This study aimed to assess the impact and predicted outcomes of patients with multiple trauma by identifying the prevalence of trauma sustained and associated complications. Materials and Methods: This retrospective cohort study focused on individual characteristics of patients with multiple trauma admitted to our County Emergency Hospital. The final table centralized the characteristics of 352 subjects aged between 3 and 93 years who presented with multiple trauma from 2015 to 2021. Inclusion criteria for this study were the presence of multiple trauma, intervention times, mentioned subjects’ ages, and types of multiple trauma. Results: Patients with multiple trauma face an increased risk of mortality due to the underlying pathophysiological response. Factors that can influence the outcomes of multiple-trauma patients include the severity of the initial injury, the number of injuries sustained, and the location of injuries. Conclusion: The first 60 min after trauma, known as the “golden hour,” is crucial in determining patient outcomes. Injuries to the head, neck, and spine are particularly serious and can result in life-threatening complications.
