*Unless stated otherwise.

†A total of 20 cases had missing data for the Glasgow Coma Scale score, Glasgow Outcome Scale score, polytrauma status, use of rehabilitation services and intoxication status. Multiple imputation using chained equations was used for these missing data, and all regression analyses used the pooled data from the imputations.
