Abstract

Background: An investigation was carried out over five years to see what variables affected the consequences that individuals with abdominal trauma suffered. Fifty patients in the cohort were hospitalized at a trauma centre. Information on the characteristics of the patients, ratings indicating the degree of harm incurred, and the fallout from the traumatic experience were recorded and examined. The results demonstrated that several patient characteristics, including age, gender, and any additional conditions they had, in addition to scores that indicated the extent of the injuries they had sustained—such as the Abdominal Trauma Index, the Injury Severity Score, and the Revised Trauma Score—were all significant predictors of the outcome. According to the current study, the outcomes of individuals with abdominal injuries may be predicted using their unique histories and injury severity ratings.

Objective: The study examined the variables influencing the recovery of individuals with abdominal injuries.

Study design: A retrospective cohort Study

Duration and place of study: surgery department at MMC Mardan from January 2021 to January 2022

Material and Methods:- The surgery department at MMC Mardan conducted retrospective cohort research from January 2021 to January 2022. The study included 100 patients who were hospitalized at a trauma centre as a result of abdominal trauma. The patients' demographics, medical histories, trauma scores, and results were gathered from their medical records. The Abdominal Trauma Index (ATI), the Revised Trauma Score (RTS), and the Injury Severity Score (ISS) made up the scoring system. The results were categorized as either unfavourable (death or disability) or favourable (complete recovery and discharge).

Results: The evaluation assessed the patient's chances of success based on their trauma ratings, age, gender, and any comorbidities. Individuals with comorbidities or those over 55 were more likely to have unfavourable results. Patients with low scores were more likely to have an adverse result since a substantial link was found between the RTS, ISS, and ATI scores and the outcome.

Conclusion: The study indicates that trauma ratings and patient variables may be useful in predicting outcomes for individuals with abdominal trauma. More investigation is required to understand how these characteristics affect the course of treatment for this group of patients.
