Aim of this study was to compare isolated abdominal injury withabdominal injury in polytrauma with respect to pattern of injury, severity of injury and morbidity & mortality. Study was done on 130 patients of trauma, out of them 60 having isolated abdominal injury and in 70 cases abdominal injury was associated with polytrauma. In isolated injury patients (45%) operative intervention required was more as compared to polytrauma patients (30%). In this study 33% cases of polytrauma required hospital stay of more than 10 days, in isolated abdominal injury it was 25 % cases. In our study mortality rate was more in polytrauma group as compared to isolated abdominal injury (7.1% vs 5%). Abdominal trauma in isolated abdominal injury group was more severe as compared to polytrauma group, may be because of primary impact of injury on the abdomen. Although morbidity and mortality was more pronounced in polytrauma group. Further studies are required to prove either these results are significant or merely coincidental.
