This study evaluated the characteristics, outcomes, and mortality-associated factors in patients who underwent tracheostomy after traumatic injury to optimize clinical decision-making and patient care in critical trauma settings. A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) records from 2013 to 2016. This study included 41,630 adult trauma patients who underwent tracheostomy procedures.

ML can enhance predictions and identify which factors contribute the most to posttraumatic mortality. However, no studies have explored the risk factors, complications, and risk prediction of preoperative and postoperative traumatic coagulopathy (PPTIC) in patients with trauma.
