Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical syndrome with significant morbidity and mortality that occurs as a result of traumatic and non‐traumatic aetiologies. Acute kidney injury, the need for dialysis, and death, can occur due to rhabdomyolysis. This study explores the aetiologies, clinical outcomes and associated factors for poor outcomes in a cohort of patients with rhabdomyolysis in a tertiary trauma centre in Australia.
