Clinical Characteristics and Outcomes of Adult Traffic Accident Patients in a Tertiary Care Intensive Care Unit

Öz

ABSTRACT Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics, treatments administered and mortality-related factors of adult patients treated for traffic accident–related trauma in a tertiary care intensive care unit. Materials and Methods: A total of 183 patients aged ≥18 years who were admitted to the Anesthesia Intensive Care Unit between 2020 and 2022 due to traffic accidents were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic data, type of accident, admission Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), APACHE II and TRISS scores, surgical intervention status, laboratory findings, length of ICU stay, and discharge outcomes were evaluated. Independent predictors of mortality were assessed using logistic regression analysis. Results: Of the patients, 153 (83.6%) were male and 30 (16.4%) were female. The overall mortality rate was 11.5% (21 patients). Compared to survivors, non-survivor patients had significantly lower hemoglobin levels, GCS scores, and TRISS scores, while lactate levels, APACHE II scores, need for blood transfusion, and requirement for inotropic support were significantly higher. Logistic regression analysis identified a low TRISS score as an independent risk factor for mortality. Conclusion: Traffic accidents represent an important cause of mortality in intensive care units. The TRISS score is a strong and independent predictor of mortality in this patient population. Key words: traffic accident, TRISS, Intensive care unit, Mortality
