Decision Trees for Managing Impaired Physical Mobility in Multiple Trauma Patients
ABSTRACT Aim To develop and validate decision trees using conditional probabilities to identify the predictors of mortality and morbidity deterioration in trauma patients. Design A quasi‐experimental longitudinal study conducted at a Level 1 Trauma Center in São Paulo, Brazil.

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 ...

Validation of a base deficit-based trauma prediction model and comparison with TRISS and ASCOT [PDF]
Background: Base deficit provides a more objective indicator of physiological stress following injury as compared with vital signs constituting the revised trauma score (RTS).
