Journal: Journal of orthopaedic trauma
Published Date: Jun 1, 2022

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Vital signs and laboratory values are used to guide decisions to use damage control techniques in lieu of early definitive fracture fixation. Previous models attempted to predict mortality risk but have limited utility. There is a need for a dynamic model that captures evolving physiologic changes during a trauma patient's hospital course.
