Existence of posttraumatic brain lesions and requirement of ICU admission are significant variables affecting outcomes in patients with motor vehicle-associated HI with concomitant thoracoabdominal trauma in this study. Patients who survived the first 10 days after trauma seemed to have a better prognosis. More efforts are needed to reduce the health burden of this lethal injury.
