Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults admitted to the ICU for trauma or non-trauma reasons at Hospital Departamental de Villavicencio and Clinica Primavera during the study period.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with ICU stays for non-trauma conditions or those not experiencing severe trauma may have limited relevance from the trauma-focused findings.

What this trial studies
This observational analysis reviews ICU discharge records from two hospitals in the Orinoco region of Colombia to identify factors associated with mortality among severe trauma patients. The cross-sectional study compares trauma-related ICU discharges with non-trauma discharges over a two-year span (January 2022 to December 2024). Demographic and diagnostic data will be analyzed to examine outcomes such as mortality and length of ICU stay, with the aim of informing resource prioritization and therapeutic strategies in a resource-limited setting.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the findings could help hospitals target high-risk trauma patients and optimize ICU resource use to reduce mortality and length of stay.
How similar studies have gone: Previous observational studies in ICU trauma have identified factors linked to mortality, supporting the potential usefulness of similar analyses in this setting.
