Data regarding outcomes after peripheral nerve injuries is limited, and the optimal management strategy for an acute injury unclear. The aim of this study was to examine timing repair specific factors that impact motor-sensory injury.This a single-center, retrospective study. Patients with traumatic from January 2010 June 2015 were included. who died, required amputation, suffered brachial plexus injury, or had missing examinations excluded. Motor-sensory graded 0 5 by Modified British...
Background/Objectives: The Geriatric Trauma Outcome Score (GTOS) is used to predict in-hospital mortality in geriatric patients with trauma. However, its applicability elderly multiple traumas and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains poorly understood. This study aimed evaluate the predictive accuracy of GTOS TBI assess performance mild TBI. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1283 trauma (aged ≥ 65 years) treated at a regional center from 2019 2023. Patients were stratified into...
OBJECTIVE Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring has become the standard of care in management severe head trauma. Intraventricular devices (IVDs) and intraparenchymal (IPDs) are 2 most commonly used techniques for ICP monitoring. Despite widespread use these devices, very few studies have investigated effect device type on outcomes. The purpose present study was to compare outcomes between types patients with isolated blunt METHODS This retrospective observational based American College...
Abstract Recently, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) had been introduced as an innovative procedure for severe hemorrhage in abdomen or pelvis. We aimed to investigate risk factors associated with mortality after REBOA and construct a model predicting mortality. This multicenter retrospective study collected data from 251 patients admitted at five regional trauma centers across South Korea 2015 2022. The indications included experiencing hypovolemic shock due...
Background:We hypothesized that the recent change of sepsis definition by sepsis-3 would facilitate measurement timing for trauma patients presenting with initial systemic inflammatory response syndrome.Moreover, we investigated factors associated according to definition.Methods: Trauma in a single level I center were retrospectively reviewed from January 2014 December 2016.Exclusion criteria younger than 18 years, Injury Severity Score (ISS) < 15, length stay 8 days, transferred other...
Severe bleeding due to pelvic fractures may require damage control procedures, such as preperitoneal packing. In many cases, packing is performed without full abdominal exploration. There are concerns that an approach miss major iliac vascular injuries or other intraabdominal injuries. This analysis assessed the incidence of and in patients with fractures. The National Trauma Data Bank was queried for blunt trauma patients. Patients severe were observed. Common external lacerations (CEIVL)...
BACKGROUND Computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis (CTAP) is highly specific for injury identification commonly used in evaluation blunt trauma patients. Despite this, there no consensus on required clinical observation period after negative imaging, often impacting patient flow hospital cost. The purpose this study was to evaluate use CTAP need imaging. METHODS A prospective analysis at a large Level I center conducted from November 2014 May 2015. All patients, older than 14 years...
Our study aims to evaluate clinical outcomes after cephalic vein transposition (CVT) the axilla in patients with brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (BC-AVF) and arch stenosis (CAS).Hospital records of 13 (median age, 61 years; males, 54%) who received CVT proximal basilic/axillary due either dysfunction (n=2) or thrombosis (n=11) between January 2010 February 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.Operation was performed under local anesthesia all cases. There no technical failure....
Tracheostomy is performed in patients with trauma who need prolonged ventilation for respiratory failure or airway management. Although it has benefits, such as reduced sedation and easier care, also risks. This study explored the unclear timing, technique, patient selection criteria tracheostomy trauma.
Purpose: To evaluate shunt rate and discuss the resultsrelated to selective placement during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) using routine awake test.Methods: Patients with CEA from 2007 2011 were retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected data.The need for was determined by test, based on alteration in neurologic examination.We data clinical records imaging studies, investigated factors related such as collateral circulation contralateral internal artery (ICA) stenosis.Results: There 45...
Thrombosis is a devastating complication after repair of traumatic vascular injury. Although thrombosis rates have been described, the value anticoagulation in preventing postrepair unknown. We hypothesize that postoperative reduces rates. A total 1524 consecutive patients with arterial injuries from January 2005 to June 2015 were identified, and 381 underwent following types: direct suture vessel wall, primary anastomosis, extra-anatomic reconstruction, tissue synthetic interposition...
Injuries sustained by civilians from interaction with police are a polarizing contemporary sociopolitical issue. Few comprehensive studies have been published using national hospital-based data. The aim of this study was to examine the epidemiology these injuries better understand mechanism injury.Patients entered into National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) (January 2007 December 2012) E-codes E970.0 E976.0 (International Classification Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification), identifying...
Abstract The aim of the study is to develop artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm based on a deep learning model predict mortality using abbreviate injury score (AIS). performance conventional anatomic severity (ISS) system in predicting in-hospital still limited. AIS data 42,933 patients registered Korean trauma bank from four regional centers were enrolled. After excluding who younger than 19 years old and those died within six hours arrival, we included 37,762 patients, which 36,493...
To determine the long-term outcomes of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and tissue loss who have undergone infrainguinal bypass surgery (IBS).We retrospectively reviewed medical records 91 DM underwent IBS between July 2003 December 2013. We determined rates overall survival (OS), amputation-free (AFS), limb salvage (LS), graft patency (GP). In addition, we evaluated data to identify risk factors that affected outcomes.The mean age was 66 ± 8 years, 78 (85.7%) were men. The locations toe...
