Independent predictors of morbidity and mortality in blunt XXXX .

@entity1 @entity1661 @entity651 @entity1320 @entity694 @entity1049
We sought to determine the impact of (1) grade of the @entity1049 , (2) the formation of an ostomy, and (3) associated injuries on outcomes such as morbidity and mortality after blunt @entity1049 . We retrospectively reviewed 16,814 cases of blunt @entity1661 . @entity1 with @entity1049 were selected and charts reviewed for demographic, clinical, and outcomes data. Injuries were grouped by the @entity1049 Scale (grades I-V). Independent risk factors of morbidity included spine and @entity651 , as well as increased age. A higher grade of @entity1049 trended toward a significant association with @entity1320 . Independent risk factors of mortality included liver, heart, and @entity651 , as well as intracerebral blood and female gender. The grade of @entity1049 , the formation of an ostomy, and management of the @entity694 did not independently predict @entity1320 , morbidity, or mortality. These results indicate that @entity1 afflicted with blunt @entity694 experience a high rate of morbidity and mortality from associated injuries and or increased age. Treatment regimens directed at these factors will be most helpful in reducing the high morbidity and mortality after blunt @entity694 . Factors such as ostomy formation and management strategy are not associated with increased morbidity or mortality after blunt @entity694 .
