PURPOSE OF REVIEW: While MESS has historically influenced limb salvage versus amputation decisions, its universal applicability remains uncertain. With trauma systems expanding and advancements in trauma care, the need for a nuanced understanding of ...
OBJECTIVE: The injury severity classification based on the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) provides information that allows for standardized comparisons for injury research. However, the majority of injury data is captured using the International Clas...

BACKGROUND: The optimal management of blunt thoracic aortic injury (BTAI) remains controversial, with experienced centers offering therapy ranging from medical management to TEVAR. We investigated the utility of a machine learning (ML) algorithm to d...
BACKGROUND: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is resource intensive with high mortality. Identifying trauma patients most likely to derive a survival benefit remains elusive despite current ECMO guidelines. Our objective was to identify uniq...

OBJECTIVE: The timely stratification of trauma injury severity can enhance the quality of trauma care but it requires intense manual annotation from certified trauma coders. The objective of this study is to develop machine learning models for the st...
BACKGROUND: Given the huge impact of trauma on hospital systems around the world, several attempts have been made to develop predictive models for the outcomes of trauma victims. The most used, and in many studies most accurate predictive model, is t...
BACKGROUND: Prehospital trauma triage is essential to get the right patient to the right hospital. However, the national field triage guidelines proposed by the American College of Surgeons have proven to be relatively insensitive when identifying se...
BACKGROUND: Traumatic injuries are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with a disproportionate impact on populations in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Kampala Trauma Score (KTS) is frequently used for triage in these s...
