Earlier identification and closer monitoring may improve outcomes for these patients. The purpose of this study was to identify the prevalence and clinical predictors of DRF in patients after blunt chest trauma. Materials and Methods A retrospective review of adult patients admitted to a Level 1 trauma center after blunt chest trauma between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013, was conducted.
