The Clinical Impact of Platelets on Post-Injury Serum Creatinine Concentration in Multiple Trauma Patients: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

: Platelets contribute to the immunological response after multiple trauma. To determine the clinical impact, this study analyzes the association between platelets and creatinine concentration as an indicator of kidney function in polytraumatized patients. We investigated all patients presenting an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥16 for a 2-year period at our trauma center.

Correlation between Platelet Count and Lung Dysfunction in Multiple Trauma Patients-A Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

(1) Background: Current findings emphasize the potential contribution of platelets to the immunological response after severe trauma. As clinical relevance remains unclear, this study aims to analyze the correlation between platelets and lung dysfunction in severely injured patients. (2) Methods: We retrospectively enrolled all multiple trauma patients presenting to our level 1 trauma center from 2015 to 2016 with an Injury-Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16.
