The aim of this study was to evaluate the mechanism of high-energy blunt trauma, age and gender of patients, severity of regional and multiple injury, ventilation time, length of stay in intensive care unit and in-hospital stay, in-hospital complications, and treatment outcome. Materials and methods. Data on 159 patients with severe multiple injuries, meeting inclusion criteria, were collected prospectively and evaluated retrospectively. Results. The mean age of multiple trauma patients was 43.9±1.4 years; males were injured 2.5 times more often than females (P<0.001). More than half (66.7%) of patients were 17–64-year-old males. Majority (83%) of all patients were injured in motor vehicle crashes, and 52.2% of these patients were pedestrians. The mean Injury Severity Score was 29.5±0.8, and severe (Abbreviated Injury Scale score of 3 and more) injuries of extremities, head, and chest made up 69.1% of all injuries. The mean ventilation time, mean length of stay in intensive care unit, and mean in-hospital stay were 5.5±0.7, 7.0±0.8, and 23.6±1.6 days, respectively. Acute lung complications were the most common (25.2%). Systemic inflammatory response syndrome developed in 7.5% of patients, and sepsis in 3.8% of patients. More than one-fifth (20.8%) of polytrauma patients died. Conclusions. Working-age male pedestrians (17–64 years old) made up two-thirds of all polytrauma patients. Severe injuries of extremities, head, and chest were present in 69.1% of all cases. Lung complications were the most common.

“…18 Major trauma accounts for approximately 10% of the world's deaths. 3,[35][36][37][38][39] Mortality from trauma in rural areas is increased because of delay in discovery of the victim or delay in accessing the trauma system. 40,41 The prevalence of trauma as a public health hazard in low-resource settings globally has been severely neglected.…”

Background?Trauma registry (TR) has been globally recognized as one of the vital tool in bridging the gap of information. The concept of TR has been extended to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) in our study. Objectives?Present study was conducted to identify core variables necessary to collect data on the sociodemographics, clinical courses, interventions, and outcomes of TBIs and to develop an electronic data entry interface (including web-based data record interface). Methods?A predesigned pro forma with guidelines to complete the questionnaire was used to collect the data maintaining uniformity and reproducibility. The details of TBI pilot study questionnaire and data collection procedure (which included emergency assessment, patient characterization, preclinical data, emergency room intervention details, intensive care unit management details, diagnosis, and follow-up) were structured indigenously. Results?A total of 402 patients were included in this study. The mean age was 37.34???16.08 years (male 78.11% and female 21.89%) and fairly good amount of details were available for the majority of the variables. In addition to the previously described variables, many other variables are proposed to be added to the further study which include handedness (right/left/ambidexterity), primary caregiver?responsible for earning in family, management-related variables (hypothermia therapy, nutrition replacement, hyperventilation therapy, and seizure prophylaxis), and details of complications (hypotension episode, hypoxia episode, any infections, and deep vein thrombosis). Disability rating scale was being added to make data collection and follow-up more objective and comparable. Conclusion?We hope and believe that this study will provide a cost effective, yet comprehensive data collection system on different parameters encompassing TBIs including configuration of existing care in our country.
