Clinical Epidemiology of Trauma Patients: A Retrospective Analysis of 3705 Consecutive Patients Treated at a Level I Trauma Center.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTrauma is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, particularly in low- and middle-income (LMIC) countries like India, where road traffic injuries (RTIs) dominate. Despite advancements in medical technology, trauma care remains underdeveloped due to resource limitations, inadequate pre-hospital care, and poor compliance with safety measures. This study aimed to analyze the clinical-epidemiological profile of trauma patients and develop strategies for effective trauma prevention and management.
methodsA retrospective review of 3,705 trauma patients admitted to a level I trauma center between July 2018 and June 2024 was conducted. Data on demographics, injury mechanisms, triage priority, treatment outcomes, and resource utilization were analyzed. Patients were managed following Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) protocols, with multidisciplinary care and trauma registry utilization.
resultsRTIs accounted for 67.3% of cases, with two-wheeler accidents being the most common (84.7%). Males comprised 78.3% of patients, with a mean age of 37.5 years. Alcohol intoxication was present in 41.9% of cases. Head injuries (1663/3705; 44.9%) and polytrauma (719/3705; 19.5%) were prevalent, with a mortality rate of 4.0%. ICU admission was required for 58.4% (n=2165) of patients, and of these, 992 (45.8%) needed mechanical ventilation. Of the 2,111 two-wheeler-related accidents, only 33% (696) wore helmets and of the 201 four-wheeler accidents, seatbelts were worn by only 41% (n=83). Low compliance with helmet and seatbelt use exacerbated injury severity.
conclusionThe study emphasizes the critical need for tighter enforcement of seatbelt and helmet regulations, improved pre-hospital care systems, and improved road safety measures. To lower trauma-related morbidity and mortality in India, it is essential to build trauma registries, strengthen the infrastructure for trauma care, and put evidence-based policies into place.
