Health-related quality of life and functional outcome measures for pediatric multiple injury: A systematic review and narrative synthesis
CONCLUSION There was a lack of consistency in the outcome tools used following multiple injury in children. Adult-validated measures may not accurately capture pediatric outcomes after multiple injury. To fully understand the impact of pediatric multiple injury and make comparisons between studies, development of a core outcome set is required. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Quantitative observational studies, level III. (Source: The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care)

A scoping review of nontechnical skill assessment tools to evaluate trauma team performance
CONCLUSION We identified 12 trauma team performance tools that assessed nontechnical skills to varying degrees. Trauma Nontechnical Skills Scale and TEAM tools had the most evidence to support their reliability and validity. Considering the limited research in the impact of trauma team performance on patient outcomes, future studies could use video review technology in authentic trauma cases to further study this important relationship.

Prognostic factors associated with development of infected necrosis in patients with acute necrotizing or severe pancreatitis—A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION This meta-analysis confirms the association between several clinical early prognostic factors and the risk of IPN development among patients with severe or necrotizing pancreatitis. These findings provide the foundation for the development of an IPN risk stratification tool to guide more targeted clinical trials for prevention or early intervention strategies.

Preperitoneal packing versus angioembolization for the initial management of hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION Because of bias, heterogeneity, and inadequate reporting of physiological data, a conclusive comparison between modalities is impossible. In addition, in more than a quarter of the cases treated with PPP, the patients did not achieve hemorrhage control until subsequent AE was performed. This systematic review highlights the need for standardized reporting in this high-risk group of trauma patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic review and meta-analysis, level III.

Can blood loss be assessed by echocardiography? An experimental study on a controlled hemorrhagic shock model in piglets
BACKGROUND Assessment of the volemic loss is a major challenge during the management of hemorrhagic shock. Echocardiography is an increasingly used noninvasive tool for hemodynamic assessment. In mechanically ventilated patients, some studies suggest that respiratory variations of mean subaortic time-velocity integral (∆VTI) would be predictive of fluid filling response. An experimental model of controlled hemorrhagic shock provides a precise approach to study correlation between blood volume and cardiac ultrasonographic parameters. OBJECTIVES The main objective was to analyze the ∆VTI changes during hemorrh...

Core outcome measures for research in traumatic injury survivors: The National Trauma Research Action Plan modified Delphi consensus study
CONCLUSION We developed a core outcome measurement set that will facilitate the synthesis, comparison, and interpretation of long-term trauma outcomes research. These measures should be prioritized in all future studies in which researchers elect to evaluate long-term outcomes of traumatic injury survivors.

Developing a National Trauma Research Action Plan: Results from the Neurotrauma Research Panel Delphi Survey
CONCLUSION This Delphi gap analysis of neurotrauma research identified 56 high-priority research questions. There are clear areas of focus for severe TBI, mTBI, and spinal cord injury that will help guide investigators in future neurotrauma research. Funding agencies should consider these gaps when they prioritize future research. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Diagnostic Test or Criteria, Level IV.

Social determinants of trauma care: Associations of race, insurance status, and place on opioid prescriptions, postdischarge referrals, and mortality
The objective of this study was to evaluate the unique contributions of race, health insurance, community distress, and rurality/urbanicity on trauma outcomes after carefully controlling for specific injury-related risk factors. METHODS All adult (age, ≥18 years) trauma patients admitted to a single Level I trauma center with a statewide, largely rural, catchment area from January 2010 to December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Primary outcomes were mortality, rehabilitation referral, and receipt of opioids in the emergency department. Demographic, socioeconomic, and injury characteristics as well as indicato...

The tight rope act: A multicenter regional experience of tourniquets in acute trauma resuscitation
This study sought to characterize the incidence, indication, and efficacy of tourniquet placement in acute trauma resuscitation. METHODS Nine regional level 1 trauma centers prospectively enrolled for 12 months adult patients (18 years or older) who had a tourniquet placed. Age, sex, mechanism, tourniquet type, indication, applying personnel, location placed, level of occlusion, and degree of hemostasis were collected. Major vascular injury, imaging and operations performed, and outcomes were assessed. Analyses were performed with significance at p (Source: The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care)

Extravasation and outcomes in computed tomography and angiography in patients with pelvic fractures requiring transcatheter arterial embolization: A single-center observational study
This study aimed to describe and analyze the contradictory findings in cases where extravasation is observed on angiography but not on CECT, to contribute to improved management of patients with pelvic fractures. METHODS This was a retrospective single-center study. Patients with pelvic fractures who underwent CECT and TAE between 2014 and 2020 were included. We classified the patients into three groups: CECT and angiography with extravasation (CT+Angio+), CECT with no extravasation and angiography with extravasation (CT−Angio+), and CECT with extravasation and angiography without extravasation (CT+Angio−). R...

Demographic changes in pelvic fracture patterns at a Swiss academic trauma center from 2007 to 2017
CONCLUSION The current results corroborate the trend of increasing frequency of fragility fractures in an aging society. The demographic shift has a direct impact on fracture pattern with a disproportionate increase in partially stable compression fracture of the pelvis. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Prognostic/Epidemiologic, Level III. (Source: The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care)
