Background: Trauma remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries like India. Road traffic accidents (RTAs), falls, and assaults constitute the major causes of traumatic injuries, often affecting the young and productive population.

Objective: To assess the clinical profile, injury patterns, severity scores, and outcomes of trauma patients presenting to a tertiary care hospital in North India.

Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted over one year at the Department of General Surgery, Dr. RPGMC, Kangra at Tanda. Fifty trauma patients aged ≥16 years, admitted for at least 24 hours with blunt or penetrating injuries, were included. Patients were evaluated clinically and scored using the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS), and New Trauma Score (NTS). Laboratory and radiological investigations were performed as needed. Management was based on standard protocols, and outcomes were recorded.

Results: The mean age was 41.54 ± 18.14 years, with the majority in the 20–29 year age group. Males constituted 76% of cases. RTAs were the most common mode of injury (64%), followed by falls (20%). Blunt trauma (84%) predominated over penetrating injuries (16%). The head and neck were most frequently injured (40%), followed by limbs (30%). The mean GCS was 12.6 ± 2.9, RTS 6.5 ± 0.8, and NTS 8.2 ± 1.1. The survival rate was 88%, while 12% of patients succumbed, mostly due to severe head injuries or multi-organ trauma.
