BACKGROUND: Haemorrhage is a leading cause of trauma death, yet early coagulation markers are rarely used to predict long-term outcomes. This study assessed whether a single admission rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) test could independently pre...
BACKGROUND: Early intervention in patients with major traumatic injuries is critical. Decision support can improve clinicians' ability to identify high-risk patients. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of a machine-learning (ML) dec...
OBJECTIVE: To develop models to predict opportunities for improvement in trauma care and compare the performance of these models to the currently used audit filters.

BACKGROUND: Reducing mortality among severe trauma patients requires the establishment of an effective emergency transportation system and the rapid transfer of patients to appropriate medical facilities. Machine learning offers significant potential...
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...
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: 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: 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...
