  1. Percentages of patients within one AISThorax group that suffered from an additional injury to another presented body region. Combinations of body regions injured were possible (multiple injured)
  2. Isolated thoracic injuries occurred in the given percentage within one AISThorax group, the remaining patients suffered from at least one relevant injury to other body regions
  3. Relevant injury is AIS ≥ 3
  4. Total number of patients with a documented GCS score differs from the initial study group
  5. GCS Glasgow Coma Scale
