Abstract
Obese trauma patients present with different injury patterns compared to lean patients. This may have significant impact on resource requirements and patient outcomes and must be considered when planning or allocating resources for trauma care. Whether differing injury patterns relate to body habitus, lifestyle factors, or other confounders is unclear, but likely represents a combination of thereof.
