Prehospital activation of a coordinated multidisciplinary hospital response in preparation for patients with severe hemorrhage: A statewide data linkage study of the New South Wales “Code Crimson” pathway

This study reports the initial experience of an Australian “Code Crimson” (CC) pathway facilitating early multidisciplinary care for these patients. METHODS This data-linkage study combined prehospital databases with a trauma registry of patients with an Injury Severity Score greater than 12 between 2017 and 2019. Four groups were created; prehospital CC activation with and without in-hospital links and patients with inpatient treatment consistent with CC, without one being activated. Diagnostic accuracy was estimated using capture-recapture methodology to replace the missing cell (no prehospital CC and Injury Severity Score
