There were 65 (54 %) blunt and 55 (46 %) penetrating injuries, with 90 (75 %) suffering multiple injuries. Sixteen (13 %) patients died from associated injuries (7: in ER; 9: after admission). Injuries were located in the cervical airway [101 (84 %)], thoracic airway [21 (18 %)], or both [2 (2 %)]. Eighty\u2010six (72 %) patients were managed surgically. Predictors of in\u2010hospital mortality included hemodynamic instability (OR 6.54, 95 % CI 1.11\u201337.14), GCS &lt; 8 upon presentation (OR 4.35, 95 % CI 3.24\u20135.41), and head trauma (OR 4.10, 95 % CI 1.91\u20136.30).
