Polytrauma, Red Blood Cell Distribution Width, Comorbidities and Coexisting Conditions
Conditions
Brief summary
In this study patients who were admitted to our hospital with critical injuries were enrolled retrospectively from January 2012 to December 2015. Patients with an ISS\>16 points, an AIS \>3 in one body region and at least 2 different body regions affected were included. RDW values on admission as well as preexisting comorbidities were evaluated.
Interventions
OTHERretrospective
The investigators retrospectively analyzed the short- and long-term outcome in polytraumatized patients and the possible influence of RDW values on admission as well as preexisting comorbidities on these outcomes.
