Factors affecting mortality in patients with traumatic diaphragmatic injury: An analysis of 92 cases.

CONCLUSION: Other organs are frequently involved in cases of TDR, and mortality increased significantly in cases with associated liver injury. An ISS of ≥24 was determined to be an independent risk factor associated with mortality. Since the main determinant of mortality was the presence or absence of additional organ injuries, it is important that this should be taken into consideration in these patients.
