Sažetak
Trauma is the leading cause of death in the industrialized world between the ages of one and 40. A number of risk factors
including age and gender have been implicated in this regard. It is therefore not surprising that the majority of trauma victims
are young males. Their mortality rate following trauma is not only higher compared to females, but they are also more
prone to subsequent sepsis. Age and gender are therefore important factors in the prevalence of traumatic injury as well
as in susceptibility to subsequent septic complications.
