Figure 1From: The risk of early mortality of polytrauma patients associated to ISS, NISS, APACHE II values and prothrombin time Kernel density estimates for ISS (A), NISS (B), APACHE II (C), and prothrombin time (D). A: The median ISS value for death at admission was 41.0 (27.0–50.0); followed by those for early death within the first 72 h (median 34.0 [25.0–45.0]) and for survival for > 3 days (median 29.0 [25.0–38.0]). B: The median NISS value for death at admission was 50.0 [41.0–66.0]), followed by those for patients who died within the first 72 h (median 50.0 [41.0–59.0]) and by those who survived for > three days (median 41.0 [29.0–50.0]). C: The median APACHE II score for death at admission was 30.0 (24.0–34.0), followed by those for patients who died within the first 72 h (median 25.0 [20.0–32.0]) and those who survived for > 3 days (median 15.0 [9.0–20.0]). D: The median prothrombin time for the patients who died on the day of admission was 37.0% (25.5–55.0%), increasing with increasing survival time (median 56% [42.0%–76.8%] for those surviving till days 1–3; median 84% [67.0%–100.0%] for those surviving for > 3 days).Back to article page
