(a) Abbreviated injury scale (AIS) analysis of injury patterns in BD ≥ 4 and BD < 4 subgroups. The BD ≥ 4 group exhibited greater extremity injury when compared to the BD < 4 group. by Mann–Whitney U test. (b) Multiple Organ Dysfunction Score (MODScore) in BD ≥ 4 and BD < 4 subgroups from days 1 through 7 after injury. The BD ≥ 4 group had a statistically significantly higher degree of organ dysfunction from days 2 to 4 after injury compared to the BD < 4 group. by two-way ANOVA.
