As the majority of major trauma patients, particularly those injured in road traffic crashes, sustain multiple injuries, weights were developed specifically for this project from the long-term outcome data collected by the Victorian State Trauma Registry.
To comprehensively examine the inter-hospital transfer of major trauma patients—including the reason for transfer, duration, escorts, interventions and unexpected events.
We estimate the diagnostic value of the Field Triage Decision Scheme for identifying major trauma patients (Injury Severity Score [ISS] ≥ 16) in a large and diverse multisite cohort.
Currently existing predictive models for massive blood transfusion in major trauma patients had limitations for sequential evaluation of patients and lack of dynamic parameters.
This study was designed to determine the incidence rate and risk factors of missed injuries in major trauma patients in the emergency department (ED).
The American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma (ACSCOT) has developed and updated field trauma triage protocols for decades, yet the ability to identify major trauma patients remains unclear.
S-100 B concentrations were assessed routinely in major trauma patients.
The predictive mortality of major trauma patients in the South Korea is 35-40 %.
Between January, 2013 and December, 2013, 372 of major trauma patients were consecutively enrolled in the study.
S-100 B concentrations are not significantly different in major trauma patients with and without head injury.
The results suggested that a short overall out-of-hospital time interval may positively affect patient survival in the case of selected urban major trauma patients.
