Personal mobility devices (PMDs) like skate-scooters, electric bicycles (e-bikes) or motorised scooters (e-scooters) have become widely available globally. There are several studies describing the rising incidence of injury from such devices. The aim our study was to examine PMD user factors between (MotPMDs) vs non-motorised PMDs (NonPMDs) as risk for severe and need hospital admission.We analysed de-identified National Trauma Registry data (2015 2017) all public sector hospitals in...
To describe the characteristics of healthcare workers (HCWs) infected with COVID-19 and to examine their sources exposure.
Purpose Musculoskeletal conditions present a significant care and disability burden on our societies, current approaches focusing specific diseases or anatomical sites result in episodic, procedure-focused care. A novel framework that combines integrated principles life-course approach is needed. Design/methodology/approach Through combination of literature review theoretical synthetic to frameworks, an expert clinical workgroup synthesised implemented musculoskeletal health. Findings The...
There is increasing focus on long-term survival, function and quality-of-life for trauma patients. are few studies tracking longitudinal changes in functional outcome over time. The goal of our study was to compare the Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE) at 6 months 12 blunt survivors with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) more than 15. Using Singapore National Trauma Registry 2011–2013, patients 6-month GOSE 12-month scores were analysed. Patients grouped into three categories—those same...
