Result: Maximum patients come after 1 day of injury 83, i.e. 33.2 % and the minimum of the patients 32, i.e. 12.8% came to hospital in between 8-16 hrs of injury. This duration of injury had recorded from the OPD slip of the patients or the direct enquiry made from patients. There were 51 out of 250 patients (20.4 %) of head injury in BAT patient, 53 out of 250 patients (21.2 %) of chest injury, and 17 out of 250 patients (6.8 %) of Extremity injury, 16 out of 250 patients (6.4 %) of facial injury, and 15 out of 250 patients (6.0 %) of pelvis injury. So it is clear that maximum associated extra abdominal injury in BAT patients is chest> head injury and minimal associated extra-abdomanal injury in BAT patients are pelvis injuries.
