We found there was no significant association between in-hospital mortality and TTA. However, in the TTA group, there was a higher risk of ICU admission, prolonged total, LOS, and prolonged ICU LOS. In the subgroup analysis, TTA had a higher risk of mortality in the 60- to 80-year-old population, major injury (ISS ≥ 16), consciousness clear population, and non-head injury group. Our results reflect TTA-criteria-selected patients with greater ISS and a high risk of mortality.
