Abstract

Polytrauma is defined as trauma involving injury to two or more physical regions or organ systems, resulting in physical, cognitive, psychological, or psychosocial impairment and functional disability. In the late 70s of the last century, the mortality rate due to polytrauma amounted to 40%. The goal of this study is to determine the incidence of hospital mortality in polytrauma patients. 140 polytrauma patients who presented to the Emergency Department of MGM hospital were studied retrospectively wherein the mortality among 140 cases was found to be 26%. The mortality rate in polytrauma patients in our institute is considerable and comparable with the international literature. It was observed that the moratlity amoung elderly polytrauma patients was higher when compared to their younger counterparts.
