While survival rates have improved, data on long-term outcomes remain limited. This study evaluates ten-year post-injury outcomes in patients with major trauma, focusing on return to work and social participation.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this single-center, retrospective cohort study, adult patients (\u2265\u200918 years) with an Injury Severity Score (ISS)\u2009\u2265\u20099 treated between 2010 and 2013 were surveyed and distributed minimally 10 years later.

The mean age at injury was 43.0 years, with a mean ISS of 20.8. Ten years post-trauma, 82.4% of patients had returned to work; 10.6% required vocational retraining, and 25.3% changed occupations. Failure to return to work was significantly associated with higher ISS (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.027), increased anxiety (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.005), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.039), and reduced mental functioning (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.009), but not with physical functioning ten years after the trauma.
