Correlation between the Injury Site and Trauma Mechanism in Severely Injured Patients with Blunt Trauma.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In patients with severe injury, predicting the injury site without using advanced diagnostic modalities can help formulate a diagnosis and treatment plan based on the suspected injury site.

Objectives

This study aimed to determine the correlation between the injury site and trauma mechanism in severely injured patients with blunt trauma.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics-including age, sex, date of emergency room (ER) visit, time of injury, trauma mechanism (car accident, motorcycle accident, bicycle accident, pedestrian accident, fall, slipping and rolling down, crush injury, assault, and others), final diagnosis, injury severity score, abbreviated injury scale (AIS) score, and injury site-of 1,245 patients in a tertiary trau
