[Prognostic value of the lethal triad among patients with multiple trauma].

Background: Patients who have suffered multiple traumatic injuries, have a serious risk for death. Hypothermia, acidosis and coagulopathy are three complications in these patients, whose presence is known as lethal triad and indicates bad prognosis.

Aim: To determine if the lethal triad in multiple trauma patients is associated with higher mortality and Injury Score Severity (ISS).
