Polytrauma-related deaths in Moscow: Retrospective analysis of 969 autopsy studies
This is the largest full-year autopsy study of polytrauma victims. Our data show that the main cause of polytrauma death is massive bleeding, with a lethality peak in the first hours after injury. The time distribution of polytrauma deaths has a bimodal pattern - the second period of polytrauma deaths occurs in 3 - 7 days.
