Cover Story: Injuries arising from RTCs are major health problems in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to determine the feasibility of conducting a multicenter study to explore factors that influence the mortality of RTC-related trauma patients in SA. A multicenter observational study was undertaken, with prospective and retrospective data collected from three hospitals. Being treated in a non-trauma center and having low SBP, low GCS, and high ISS scores were statistically significant independent predictors of 30-day in-hospital mortality following an RTC. Being an MV–driver, being admitted to the ICU, and having a head injury and/or thorax/abdominal injury were also linked to mortality. Collecting multicenter injury data in SA has logistic challenges predominantly associated with the comparability and completeness of datasets and the need for manual screening and data collection at some institutions. View this paper
