The goal of this retrospective observational study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of pulmonary contusion volume in predicting early pneumonia in patients with thoracic trauma. The primary question we aim to answer is: What is the diagnostic accuracy of pulmonary contusion volume in predicting pneumonia within 7 days post-trauma? Moreover, we aim to explore which is the overlap between the contused segments and those developing pneumonia. Finally, we aim to explore relevant differences in radiomic features between contused segments that developed pneumonia.
