Purpose: This study aimed investigate factors in foreign tourists Methods: cross-sectional analytic used an hospital Bali as research sample. was conducted anal...

conclusions we can conclude that the surveillance presented to our injured group probably had some defects that need to be revised in therapeutic services to enhance survival requirements. objectives the aim of this study was to evaluate the outcome of trauma cases using the trauma score and the injury severity score (triss) model and then comparing this with the results of a major trauma outco...

To define the pattern of injury and aetiology of death of patients who have sustained major trauma due to high fall and its relationship with the mechanism of free fall. A total of 188 consecutive patients who sustained a high fall were included after the TRAUMASUR database was retrospectively reviewed. Demographic characteristics, severity scores, injury type, aetiology of high fall, mortality...

INTRODUCTION The Injury Severity Score (ISS) and the New Injury Severity Score (NISS) are widely used for anatomic severity assessments after trauma. We present here the Tangent Injury Severity Score (TISS), which transforms the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) as a predictor of mortality. MATERIAL AND METHODS The TISS is defined as the sum of the tangent function of AIS/6 to the power 3.04 mul...

The objective of this study was to determine if alcohol potentiates the severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) in motor vehicle crash (MVC) victims, controlling for crash severity characteristics. Prior studies evaluating effects of alcohol on TBI have not accounted for severity of crash. We evaluated severity of head injury by Marshall score [a classification scale of intracranial pathology ...

BACKGROUND Prediction of mortality in trauma patients is an important part of trauma care. Trauma scoring systems are the current methods used for prediction of mortality. We aimed to evaluate and compare the performances of Injury Severity Score (ISS) and New Injury Severity Score (NISS) in firearm injuries. METHODS Records of 135 firearm-injured patients who applied to Uludag University Eme...

To investigate the injury characteristics and mortality of patients transported by emergency medical services (EMS) and hospitalized for trauma following a road traffic crash, data obtained from the Trauma Registry System were retrospectively reviewed for trauma admissions between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2013 in a Level I trauma center. Of 16,548 registered patients, 3978 and 1440 patien...

To study the characteristics of fatal vehicle-pedestrian accidents in China，a team was established and passenger car-pedestrian crash cases occurring between 2006 and 2011 in Beijing and Chongqing, China were collected. A total of 121 fatal passenger car-adult pedestrian collisions were sampled and analyzed. The pedestrian injuries were scored according to Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and Inj...
