Analysis of factors influencing the surgical treatment outcomes of spinal injuries in polytrauma patients

This study looks at how different factors affect the results of surgery for spinal injuries in people who have suffered multiple injuries (polytrauma). It examines things like when the surgery happens and what other injuries the person has. The study found that the timing of spinal surgery is crucial. Patients who had surgery between 12 and 48 hours after admission had better survival rates than those who had it earlier or later. Experiencing hemorrhagic shock after surgery and needing multiple surgeries for injuries other than spinal injuries were linked to a higher risk of death.

• 1
  Patients operated on within 12–48 h had the best survival rates, while those operated on earlier or later had poorer outcomes.
• 2
  Factors such as hemorrhagic shock postsurgery and the number of surgeries outside the spine were significantly correlated with patient mortality.
• 3
  Targeted treatment for hemorrhagic shock postsurgery is crucial for better survival rates.
