conclusions in comparison with road traffic accidents on city streets, trauma patients in rtas on roads out of the city have longer pre-hospital time intervals and more severe injuries; therefore this group needs more pre-hospital resuscitation interventions. results findings of this study showed that, 75% of rtas occurred on city streets (n = 1 251). motor-car accidents were the most frequent ...

Background: Knowing the direction of traumatic injury is important as the information can help avoid death after trauma. A trauma registry usually entails detailed information about the demographics, cause, intensity of the injury, and the final diagnosis and outcome of the trauma-affected patient. Researchers should be able to evaluate all aspects of trauma injury and patient’s status. Objecti...

Introduction Injury scoring systems are designed to accurately assess injury severity, appropriately triage the injured, and develop and refine trauma patient care.1 Trauma scores quantify the severity and extent of injury, aid with the prediction of survival and subsequent morbidity,2 and allow health care providers to communicate in common terms. One disadvantage of injury scoring systems is ...

posttraumatic cerebral infarction is a rare complication and is an indicator of poor clinical outcome of head-trauma in spite of appropriate medical and surgical interventions. cerebellar infarction following head trauma is also very rare and only a few reported cases are available in literatures. a 2-year-old child sustained head injury in a car accident and underwent surgery because of cerebr...

In recent years, the immigration of Venezuelan citizens to Republic Colombia has increased1. Although some research shown a difference in presentation medical conditions these individuals, there are still no studies evaluating epidemiology trauma this population2,3. The objective present study was compare characteristics native Colombian population versus immigrant using Institutional Trauma Re...

Introduction: Cardiac arrest following trauma occurs infrequently compared with cardiac aetiology. Within the German Resuscitation Registry a traumatic cause is documented in about 3% of cardiac arrest patients. Regarding the national Trauma Registry, only a few of these trauma patients with cardiac arrest survive. The aim of the present study was to analyze the outcome of cardiopulmonary resus...

BACKGROUND Studies to identify an ideal trauma score tool representing prediction of outcomes of the pediatric fall patient remains elusive. Our study was undertaken to identify better predictor of mortality in the pediatric fall patients. METHODS Data was retrieved from prospectively maintained trauma registry project at level 1 trauma center developed as part of Multicentric Project-Towards...

BACKGROUND Population-based patterns of care studies are important for trauma care but conducting them is expensive and resource-intensive. Linkage of routinely collected administrative health data may provide an efficient alternative. The aims of this study are to describe the rehabilitation pathway for trauma survivors and to analyse the brain injury rehabilitation outcomes in the two care se...

BACKGROUND Readmission of trauma patients has been identified as a quality indicator for trauma care. Few if any studies on this topic can be found from a nonacademic trauma center. The objectives of the study were to determine the rate, cause, and preventability for readmission and to identify predictors of readmission in a nonacademic trauma center. METHODS Cases registered from 2007 to 200...
