Core Tip	Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in patients with multiple injuries results in long-term physical and psychological complications, which significantly impair postoperative recovery. This study investigates the risk factors for PTSD in patients with multiple injuries and explores its association with anxiety and depression. Considering the limited existing research in this field, our results may help address crucial knowledge gaps. The results indicate advanced age, high Hamilton Anxiety Scale scores, high Hamilton Depression Scale scores, low monthly income, and negative life event exposure as significant risk factors for PTSD in such patients. Furthermore, advanced age, low monthly income, and negative life events are considered key contributors to emotional distress in this population. These results provide valuable information for the early screening and stratified intervention of PTSD in patients with multiple injuries, providing potential clinical guidance to improve outcomes.
