Gender-based Assessment of Survival in Trauma-hemorrhagic Shock: A Retrospective Analysis of Indian Population.
Trauma-hemorrhagic shock (THS) is a leading cause of death. Female rats and women experience better outcomes in terms of survival after major trauma as compared to males. There are limited data in Indian population. Authors studied the gender-based outcome of patients with Class IV hemorrhagic shock due to blunt trauma and the distribution of factors among males and females which are known to affect outcome. ⋯ Females had better survival as compared to males following THS. SBP was an independent predictor of mortality in females with THS.
