Background: Thoracic trauma is one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in both depeloved and developing countries. Thoracic trauma can become a life-threatening condition if the treatment doesn’t immediate and appropriate. This study aimed to review and analyzed the demographic and clinical characteristic of road traffic crashes related (RTCR) thoracic injuries in West Nusa Tenggara Province General Hospital. Methods: Clinical records of patients with thoracic trauma admitted to thoracic surgery department between May 2018 and May 2021 were retrospectively retrieved and reviewed. Patient’s profile and clinical characteristics were comparatively analyzed between road traffic crashes caused injury and other injury mechanism. Results: The study included 42 thoracic trauma patient with most often in patients aged between 20 and 60 years (n=71,4%), of whom 85,7% were male. Most of the patients (38,1%, n=16) had rib fracture. Road traffic crashes was responsible for 78,6% (n=33) of the injuries. Most of patients had treated with chest tube insertion presented in 14 patients (33,3%). Operative chest tube insertion were required in 12 (36,36%) patients RTCR chest trauma, while the majority of non-RTCR thoracic injuries were managed operative thoracotomy + chest tube insertion (44,44%, n=4). Conclusions: RTC contributed for a considerable number of traumatic chest injury in this study, which usually affects productive age males with rib fractures were the most pattern of injuries.
