Introduction: Polytrauma represents the leading cause of death in individuals under the age of 40 and, as such, continues to pose a significant clinical challenge and public health issue. Given its significance, there is a need for clearer definition of recommendations and guidelines for the management of such patients. Objective: To present the epidemiology, treatment, and treatment outcomes of polytrauma patients treated at the Clinical Hospital Center Rijeka from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022, with a focus on the average time to surgical management of polytrauma patients and comparing the results with the previously known recommendations. Participants and methods: This analysis included a total of 89 polytrauma patients categorized based on associated injuries and combinations thereof. General and specific data from patients' medical records were retrospectively analyzed. The main criterion for including patients in this study was the presence of T06.8 or T07 - the diagnosis of multiple bodily injuries according to the ICD-10 classification in the patients' medical documentation. Results: Male individuals under the age of 40 constitute the most common group of patients. The primary mechanism of injury is motor vehicle accidents. Patients with bone fractures associated with injury to one organ system and patients with injuries to three organ systems received earlier care compared to patients with bone fractures associated with injuries to two organ systems. Additionally, patients with bone fractures in one organ system had shorter hospitalizations compared to patients with injuries to multiple organ systems. Conclusion: Given the objectives of this retrospective analysis, we can conclude that we did not fully succeed in proving the first objective. Considering the limitations of the study, we cannot determine whether certain patient groups were appropriately delayed in surgical management or not. However, the second objective of the study has been confirmed. Patients with bone fractures associated with injuries to two or more organ systems were, on average, hospitalized for a longer duration compared to patients with injuries to a single organ system.
