This study assessed trauma victim mortality over one year. Road traffic accidents and multiple injuries were leading causes, with higher mortality linked to longer transport times and severe injuries.

Area of Science:

  • Traumatology
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Trauma remains a significant cause of mortality worldwide.
  • Understanding trauma-related death patterns is crucial for effective intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the mortality incidence in physical trauma patients.
  • To identify key factors influencing trauma mortality.

Main Methods:

  • A one-year prospective study was conducted.
  • All patients admitted with physical trauma to Rajendra Hospital, Patiala, Punjab were included.
  • Data on causes of injury, injury severity, and transportation time were collected.

Main Results:

  • Road traffic accidents were the most frequent cause of trauma-related death, followed by thermal injuries.

  • Mortality was highest among patients with multiple injuries.
  • A direct correlation was observed between increased transportation time, higher Injury Severity Score (ISS), and mortality rates.

    • Conclusions:

    • Road traffic accidents and multiple injuries represent critical areas for trauma prevention efforts.
    • Minimizing transportation time and addressing severe injuries are vital for reducing trauma mortality.
    • Implementing preventive and regulatory measures can significantly lower mortality incidence in trauma cases.
