  1. SSRF surgical stabilization of rib fractures, ISS injury severity scale, NISS new injury severity score, TRISS trauma and injury severity score, RTS revised trauma score.
  2. *Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
  3. aSignificance was assessed using χ2 tests. bSignificance was assessed using Student’s t tests.
