A Chi-square test was conducted for categorical variables. A\n P<\/jats:italic>\n value of less than 0.01 was considered statistically significant.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n Out of 80 cadavers, the male:female ratio was 1:0.31. The commonest age group was 20\u201329 years. Victims of road traffic accidents were 54 (67.5%) followed by falls from height 10 (12.5%). External thoracic injuries were commoner than internal and vice versa in abdominal injuries. Liver injuries were major in number. Combined thoracic-abdominal and associated injuries were observed in 67 (83.75%) victims. The commonest cause of death was craniocerebral injury combined with hemorrhagic shock (36.25%). Eighteen (22.5%) victims died on the spot having an Injury Severity Score (ISS) of 73.37 followed by a survival time of 1\u20137 days in 17 (21.25%) cases. A significant correlation was found between ISS and survival period.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n All thoracic and abdominal injuries represent a possible increase in morbidity and mortality; hence, working toward their prevention and timely intervention is necessary.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1925_23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]],"date-time":"2024-07-26T02:01:43Z","timestamp":1721959303000},"page":"3074-3077","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["A postmortem study of demographics and severity of thoracoabdominal injuries among patients attending a teaching hospital in northeast India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Anupam","family":"Datta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Agartala Government Medical College and GBP Hospital, Agartala, Tripura, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Santhosh C.","family":"Siddappa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, JJM Medical College, Davangere, Karnataka, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Debaleena","family":"Dey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Agartala Government Medical College and GBP Hospital, Agartala, Tripura, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anamika","family":"Nath","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Forensic Medicine and Toxicology, Tezpur Medical College and Hospital, Bihuguri, Assam, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"R2-20240828","first-page":"105","article-title":"Pattern of injuries cases in the mortuary in the year 2011-2014 in Rajindra Hospital Patiala","volume":"14","author":"Goyal","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Punjab Acad Forensic Med Toxicol"},{"key":"R3-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"187","DOI":"10.1097\/00005373-197403000-00001","article-title":"The injury severity score: A method for describing patients with multiple injuries and evaluating emergency care","volume":"14","author":"Bekar","year":"1974","journal-title":"J Trauma Acute Care Surg"},{"key":"R5-20240828","first-page":"147","article-title":"A study of pattern and Injury Severity Score in blunt thoraco-abdominal trauma cases in Manipal","volume":"6","author":"Th","year":"2005","journal-title":"Medico Legal Update"},{"key":"R6-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"58","DOI":"10.5144\/0256-4947.1999.58","article-title":"Thoracic and abdominal trauma in children","volume":"19","author":"Al-Salem","year":"1999","journal-title":"Ann Saudi Med"},{"key":"R7-20240828","first-page":"24","article-title":"Abdominal organ involvement in blunt injuries","volume":"34","author":"Singh","year":"2012","journal-title":"J Indian Acad Forensic Med"},{"key":"R8-20240828","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"116","DOI":"10.4103\/0974-2700.130882","article-title":"An epidemiological study on pattern of thoraco-abdominal injuries sustained in fatal road traffic accidents of Bangalore: Autopsy-based study","volume":"7","author":"Reddy","year":"2014","journal-title":"J Emerg Trauma Shock"}],"container-title":["Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1925_23","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,27]],"date-time":"2026-08-27T13:57:30Z","timestamp":1787839050000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.ovid.com\/10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1925_23"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]]},"references-count":6,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.4103\/jfmpc.jfmpc_1925_23","relation":{},"ISSN":["2249-4863","2278-7135"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2249-4863","type":"print"},{"value":"2278-7135","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,26]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2023-12-07","name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-02-23","name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
