Helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) transport of trauma patients has been used for decades. Its use, however, is still a subject debate, including issues such as high costs, increasing numbers crashes, and conflicting results regarding effectiveness in reducing mortality. The aim this study was to examine whether mode (HEMS vs. ground EMS) independently associated with mortality among transported directly from the scene injury definitive care.All Level I or II center by either air...

BACKGROUND: Advances in blood conservation have reduced the need for allogeneic transfusions total knee and hip arthroplasty (TKA/THA). This study aimed to assess whether perioperative bleeding complications, including hemorrhage/hematoma, transfusions, postoperative anemia, occurred at similar rates between patients with hereditary disorders (BDs) controls. Using a national health care database, we assessed use of clotting factor concentrates (CFCs), outcomes, resource utilization. METHODS:...
Objective: While out-of-hospital under-triage of seriously injured older adults to tertiary trauma centers has long been acknowledged, no study adjusted for place injury or evaluated the extent inter-facility under-triage. We sought determine distance and confounder odds treatment at a center (TTC) adult patients compared younger patients, transported from scene those transferred non-tertiary (NTTC) center. Methods: This was retrospective cohort utilizing data statewide registry reported...
Objective: It is well established that seriously injured older adults are under-triaged to tertiary trauma centers. However, the survival benefit of centers (TC) compared a non-tertiary (Non-TCs) remains unclear for this patient population. Using improved methodology and larger sample, we hypothesized there was difference in hospital mortality between treated at TCs those Non-TCs. Methods: This retrospective cohort study (> =55 years) reported Oklahoma statewide registry 2005 2014. The...
New antiretroviral (ARV) regimens require strict adherence if optimal suppression of HIV is to be maintained. This study a theory-based examination racial differences in patient-perceived barriers and reported ARV adherence. Participants (N=149) completed the Patient Medication Adherence Questionnaire (PMAQ), measuring perceived was defined as self-report 100% past four weeks. Odds ratios were calculated determine relation for race gender groups, sample overall. For every ten-point increase...
Self-report health status measures are consistently associated with medical outcomes and cost-effective. Studies using such find that those who live in rural areas or have limited access to support experience poorer outcomes. A survey addressing these issues was administered 401 HIV-positive persons throughout Alabama. Hierarchical regression models examined the relation of housing stability, stress, substance use other variables physical (PCS) mental (MCS) status. The sample 34% female 66%...
Evaluate the extent and severity of headache following deployment-related TBI (D-TBI) in veterans Iraq (OIF) Afghanistan (OEF) wars over a follow-up period 4-11 years with comparison to age, sex, race, time deployment matched controls.TBI has been recognized as "signature Injury" OEF/OIF campaigns occurring 14-20% deployed soldiers. Currently, there are very few data on longer term soldiers D-TBI. This study deals prevalence burden at D-TBI for controls without D-TBI.This is case...
A review of the literature yielded little information regarding factors associated with decision to use ground (GEMS) or helicopter (HEMS) emergency medical services for trauma patients transferred inter-facility. Furthermore, studies evaluating impact inter-facility transport mode on mortality have reported mixed findings. Since HEMS is generally reserved more severely injured patients, this introduces indication bias, which may explain Our objective was identify at referring non-tertiary...
