Combined trauma, which refers to the occurrence of multiple injuries in a single individual, presents unique challenges in terms of predicting outcomes and providing intensive care. The complexity and severity of combined trauma often make it difficult to accurately assess the prognosis and determine the most appropriate treatment strategies. This article provides an overview of the prediction of outcomes and intensive care for combined trauma. According to the result of the research, predicting outcomes and providing intensive care for combined trauma patients necessitates a comprehensive and individualized approach. Collaboration between different specialties and ongoing assessment of the patient's condition are essential for optimizing outcomes and ensuring the best possible care for these complex cases.
