Six states (Washington, Oregon, Oklahoma, Iowa, Delaware, and Colorado) have categorized all or nearly all short-term general medical/surgical hospitals with 25 beds or more with a 24-hour/7 day per week emergency department into 1 of 5 levels of trauma care (Table 2 and Figure 1). An...

It is therefore highly likely that physicians across all hospitals will play a role in managing trauma patients. As the average age of trauma patients increases, the injury mechanism is less likely due to ‘accidents’, but more likely to result from lower energy transfer related to syncopal ...
(non-trauma centre) hospitals, all of which should adversely affect the outcomes from this group, making the impact of the trauma team perhaps even more noteworthy. The incorporation of several specialties into one team therefore appears to be more valuable in outcome terms than the sum of its...
Robust variance estimators were used to account for the nonindependence of observations within hospitals. All statistical tests were 2-tailed and P values less than .05 were considered significant. The performance of the logistic regression models (for mortality) was assessed using measures of ...
