PURPOSE Pediatric trauma is one of the major health problems around the world which threats the life of children. The survival of injured children depends upon appropriate care, accurate triage and effective emergent surgery. The objective of this study was to determine the predictive values of injury severity score (ISS), new injury severity score (NISS) and revised trauma score (RTS) on child...
BACKGROUND Contemporary understanding of the biomechanics, natural history, and methods of treating thoracolumbar spine injuries continues to evolve. Current classification schemes of these injuries, however, can be either too simplified or overly complex for clinical use. METHODS The Spine Trauma Group was given a survey to identify similarities in treatment algorithms for common thoracolumb...
introduction and aims: although a few studies have done in our country in the field of hepatitis d, its risk factors are not clearly known. this study was conducted with the aim of assessing the relative frequency and risk factors of hdv and the correlation between hdv and severity of liver damage. materials and methods: this was a cross sectional study. 280 hbsag positive subjects (including 1...
BACKGROUND Some studies have reported an increased incidence of thromboembolic complications following trauma. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We performed a literature review and queried the National Trauma Data Bank to more closely examine the incidence of a variety of thromboembolic complications following injury. RESULTS Thromboembolic events are rare, but occur at a greater rate in more sever...
The grading of injury severity has become a crucial issue in health care. In developed countries, multiple different scoring systems serve various purposes. Some of them were developed to grade patients on scene, some on admission and some during the hospital course. In addition, many scores are in use to monitor complications, such as ARDS, MODS or MOF. It is important to consider reasons for ...
OBJECTIVE To describe the burden of road transport-related serious injury in Victoria, Australia, over a 10-year period, after the introduction of an integrated trauma system. BACKGROUND Road traffic injury is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Efforts to improve care of the injured are important for reducing burden, but the impact of trauma care systems on burden and cost of ...
BACKGROUND Elderly trauma patients have a higher incidence of medical comorbidities when compared with their younger cohorts. Currently, the minimally accepted criteria established by the Committee on Trauma for the highest level of trauma activation (Level I) does not include age as a factor. Should patients older than 60 years with multiple injuries and/or a significant mechanism of injury be...
The authors undertook a review of fatal falls from a height, that occurred in 1991-92 in Singapore, with the objective of constructing mathematical models relating the height of fall to the injuries sustained. The 603 cases studied showed a mean age of 41.4 years with a male to female ratio of approximately 2:1. A sub-sample of 416 (69%) of these subjects had fallen from known heights (mean, 26...
PURPOSE To analyze background EEG activity of patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) with and without antiepileptic drugs. METHODS We studied the background EEG activity in 18 patients with JME. The qEEG analysis included absolute power (AP), relative power (RP) and mean frequency (MF) of delta, theta, alpha and beta bands. The Z scores were calculated by comparison with population p...
Major trauma is commonly defined using an Injury Severity Score (ISS) threshold of 15. Since this threshold was formulated, there have been significant developments in both the Abbreviated Injury Scale underlying the ISS, and trauma management techniques, both in the preventive and acute-care phases of trauma management. This study assesses whether this ISS threshold is appropriate when evaluat...
