CONCLUSION A prolonged on-scene time is associated with mortality in moderately and severely injured patients, which suggests that a reduced on-scene time may be favorable for these patients. In addition, transport time was found not to be associated with mortality. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic and Epidemiologic; level III.
