ABSTRACT Background A shift in the age profile of major trauma patients creates new challenges to trauma system design. Examining historical trends of major trauma in older people allows us to better plan for an effective trauma system. This study explores the clinical characteristics of older adult trauma cases presenting to a level one trauma center ...

Abstract Background The De Ritis ratio (aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase, AST/ALT) has been reported as a prognostic biomarker in various medical conditions and has been associated with worse outcomes in trauma patients. However, its added prognostic value for trauma intensive care unit (ICU) patients remains unclear.

Background Massive transfusion (MT) is life‐saving for patients with exsanguination, especially after blunt abdominopelvic trauma, due to subtle manifestations. Blunt bowel mesenteric injuries (BBMIs), besides their potential risk of peritonitis, are still one of the few indications for emergency laparotomy for hemorrhagic shock in the era of ...

ABSTRACT Background Polytrauma patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16 have a high mortality rate. Early identification of patients at risk of mortality is key. Different risk stratification models are available; however, body composition on third lumbar computed tomography (L3 CT) is not routinely used.

Outcomes of Civilian Penetrating Rectal Injuries Associated With Genitourinary and Bony Injuries
Extraperitoneal rectal injuries with associated bladder and/or bone injuries can be safely managed with fecal diversion, extraperitoneal bladder repair through cystostomy, and irrigation of bone and joint injuries, with minimal morbidity. ABSTRACT Background Combined rectal, bladder, and bone injuries are rare but associated with significant morbidity.

Abstract Background Stress hyperglycemia is a common response to trauma and critical illness, but conventional glucose measurements fail to distinguish stress‐induced from chronic hyperglycemia. The serum glucose‐to‐potassium ration, or stress index (SI), is a readily available marker that may reflect the severity of the physiologic stress response ...

The FASILA score is a 7‐point scale comprising the FAST (focused assessment with sonography in trauma), shock index, and serum lactate. We aimed to validate this score prospectively in patients with abdominal and pelvic trauma to predict the need for massive blood transfusion, laparotomy, and inhospital mortality.
