Abstract: Background: Blunt chest trauma (BCT) represents a major subset of thoracic injuries and is a significant contributor to trauma-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. It accounts for up to 15% of all trauma admissions and is frequently associated with high-impact mechanisms such as motor vehicle collisions, falls, and crush injuries. Objective: This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the multifactorial elements that influence the clinical outcome of patients suffering from blunt chest trauma. Understanding these factors is essential for optimizing initial assessment, guiding therapeutic strategies, and improving both short-term and long-term prognoses.

Keywords: blunt chest trauma, trauma-related mortality, high-impact injuries, motor vehicle collisions, thoracic trauma
