We explored a large 2-year experience from a regional trauma center with a dedicated soft tissue service (STS) in an attempt to identify factors in current care with potential for improving outcomes for these critically ill patients.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>New adult (&amp;gt;17 years) STS admissions, 2008\u20132009, were identified from the Trauma Registry. Patient records were extracted and assessed via descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and multivariable logistic regression models.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Mortality among 253 eligible primary admissions was 8.3% overall and 10.3% for those with an admission diagnosis of NSTI. No significant differences in wound characteristics, use of VAC (vacuum-assisted closure) dressing or hyperbaric oxygen, or wound microbiology emerged between survivors and nonsurvivors. Median time to first debridement was 5 h (interquartile range, 2\u201321 h). Multivariable modeling indicated association of worse outcome (death or discharge to chronic\/rehab care) with age &amp;gt;60 years [odds ratio (OR), 3.82; P &amp;lt; 0.001], anemia (OR, 0.98; P = 0.03), increasing number of transfusions (OR, 1.09; P &amp;lt; 0.001), NSTI diagnosis (OR, 2.47; P = 0.005), preexisting diabetes mellitus (OR, 3.20; P = 0.001), and low admission hemoglobin (OR, 0.80; P = 0.004).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Mortality was less than previously reported. Number of transfusions and anemia at admission emerged as risk factors for poor outcomes.
