No gender differences, except the infused volume, in the treatment of severely injured patients could be found. Differences in laboratory tests, especially base excess, lactate, and coagulation parameters were found. As these parameters are also used as predictors of mortality in trauma patients, gender-specific cut-offs of these laboratory tests might be necessary to avoid underestimating injured women.
