Bimodal, But Not the Same: Persistent Late Peaks in Trauma Mortality
In conclusion, our trauma mortality pattern aligns partially with Trunkey's 1983 trimodal distribution, showing a persistent late mortality attributed to deaths from complications. This highlights an urgent need for improvements in trauma care to reduce late-stage mortality. Further in-depth analysis is required to understand the underlying mortality drivers among admitted patients.
