Lactate dehydrogenase can be used for differential diagnosis to identify patients with severe polytrauma with or without chest injury-A retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chest injury is an important factor regarding the prognosis of patients with polytrauma (PT), and the rapid diagnosis of chest injury is of utmost importance. Therefore, the current study focused on patients' physiology and laboratory findings to quickly identify PT patients with chest injury.

Method

Data on 64 PT patients treated at a trauma center level I between June 2020 and August 2021 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into a PT group without chest injury (Group A) and a PT group including chest injury (Group B). The relationship between chest injury and the patients' baseline characteristics and biochemical markers was analyzed.

Results

Heart rate, respiration rate, Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score, glutamate ox
