Pre-existing cirrhosis is associated with increased mortality of traumatic patients: Analysis of cases from a trauma center in East China

Table 1 Demographic and survival data on patients studied (48 males, 16 females)

(n = 40)	Range
Mean age = 52	31-84
Mean TS = 12	6-16
Mean ISS = 12	5-34
Surv = 87.5%
