BACKGROUND The frailty index is a known predictor of adverse outcomes in geriatric patients. Trauma-Specific Frailty Index (TSFI) was created and validated at single center to accurately identify reliably predict worse among trauma This study aims prospectively validate the TSFI multi-institutional cohort METHODS prospective, observational, trial across 17 American College Surgeons Levels I, II, III centers. All patients (65 years older) presenting during 3-year period were included. status...
Purpose: While fever may be a presenting symptom of COVID-19, at hospital admission has not been identified as predictor mortality. However, hyperthermia during critical illness among ventilated COVID-19 patients in the ICU yet studied. We sought to determine mortality predictors and we hypothesized that is predictive Materials Methods: conducted retrospective cohort study 103 admitted between March 14 May 27, 2020. Final follow-up was June 5, Patients discharged from or who died were...
BACKGROUND Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are a global health burden, particularly in India, where response times for first responders can be prolonged. Prior to enactment of Good Samaritan Law (GSL) 2016, involved bystanders could face criminal and financial liability assisting at an RTC site. This study evaluates the impact GSL on bystander attitudes, awareness, experiences comparing outcomes pre- post-GSL implementation across metropolitan cities (MCs) nonmetropolitan (NMCs). We hypothesized...
INTRODUCTION Insurance coverage is a critical determinant of access to care. Uninsured patients suffer poorer outcomes including increased risk morbidity/mortality. To reduce uninsurance among adults, the Affordable Care Act provisioned states option expand Medicaid eligibility. We hypothesized that with isolated traumatic brain injury (TBI) had more insurance and better after expansion as compared before. METHODS National data on trauma admissions were obtained from American College...
BACKGROUND Because of advances in trauma care, there has been increased survival among patients. However, less progress made to address posttraumatic psychological disorders. Many patients (19–42%) report emotional or distress after injury, and over one five will develop stress disorder (PTSD) and/or depression within the first postinjury year. We aim establish a practice management guideline using systematic review provide guidance on early identification individuals at risk for PTSD...
BACKGROUND Leak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os treatment. Parenteral nutrition (PN) has known morbidity; however, leak patients often have complex hospital courses resulting barriers to enteral (EN). We hypothesized that EN alone would be associated with (1) shorter duration until closure (2) less infectious complications length stay compared PN. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis retrospective,...
Background: The burden of firearm injury (FI) extends beyond hospitalization; however, literature focuses mostly on short-term physical outcomes. This study aimed to assess changes in patient-reported outcomes following firearm-related trauma. We hypothesized long-term socioeconomic, mental health, and quality-of-life (QoL) are worse post-FI compared pre-FI. Methods: was a retrospective where phone survey conducted with FI survivors admitted between January 2017 August 2022 at level 1 trauma...
Introduction The utility of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for high-grade traumatic injuries remains unclear and data surrounding its use are limited. We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management grade IV–V pancreaticoduodenal injuries. Methods This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers January 2010 to December 2020. Included patients were ≥15 years age the American Association Surgery Trauma...
Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue with substantial burden on society. Screening and intervention practices vary widely there are no standard guidelines. Our objective was to review research current for IPV prevention in emergency departments trauma centers the USA provide evidenced-based recommendations.An evidence-based systematic of literature conducted address screening adult department patients. The Grading Recommendations, Assessment, Development...
BACKGROUND Duodenal leak is a feared complication of repair, and innovative complex repairs with adjunctive measures (CRAM) were developed to decrease both occurrence severity when leaks occur. Data on the association CRAM duodenal are sparse, its impact outcomes nonexistent. We hypothesized that primary repair alone (PRA) would be associated decreased rates; however, improved recovery do METHODS A retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 Level 1 trauma centers included patients older...
Background: Historically, procalcitonin(PCT) has been used as a predictor of bacterial infection and to guide antibiotic therapy in hospitalized patients. The purpose this study was determine PCT's diagnostic utility predicting secondary pneumonia critically ill patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods: A retrospective cohort conducted adults admitted the ICU between March 2020, 2021. All included had PCT level within 72 h presentation serum creatinine <1.5mg/dL. threshold 0.5ng/mL...
Introduction Screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) has demonstrated up 50% reduction in alcohol-related traumatic injury is mandated by the American College of Surgeons for trauma center accreditation. While SBIRT effectiveness been previously investigated, optimal implementation setting not. We sought improve compliance through integration screening into a performance improvement checklist (PIC) deployed during morning report. hypothesized that PIC would establish...
Reported characteristics and outcomes of critically ill patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) are widely disparate varying mortality rates. No literature describes in ICU managed by an acute surgery (ACS) division. Our ACS division manages all at a community hospital New Jersey. When that was overwhelmed crisis secondary COVID-19, we sought describe for our closed division.This prospective case series first 120 consecutive on March 14 May 10, 2020. Final follow-up...
We describe the first case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in an adult patient after coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19). A 34-year-old Hispanic man, who tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) 1 month before presentation, was admitted fever, abdominal pain, headache, and myalgia. The deteriorated, developing organ failure. He required intensive care unit admission, mechanical ventilation, vasopressors, continuous renal replacement therapy....
