BACKGROUND: As the population ages, the incidence of traumatic falls has been increasing. We hypothesize that a machine learning algorithm can more accurately predict mortality after a fall compared with a standard logistic regression (LR) model base...
Local trauma care and regional trauma systems are data-rich environments that are amenable to machine learning, artificial intelligence, and big-data analysis mechanisms to improve timely access to care, to measure outcomes, and to improve quality of...
BACKGROUND: The principal triggers for intervention in the setting of pediatric blunt solid organ injury (BSOI) are declining hemoglobin values and hemodynamic instability. The clinical management of BSOI is, however, complex. We therefore hypothesiz...

BACKGROUND: In-field triage tools for trauma patients are limited by availability of information, linear risk classification, and a lack of confidence reporting. We therefore set out to develop and test a machine learning algorithm that can overcome ...

BACKGROUND: Rib fractures serve as both a marker of injury severity and a guide for clinical decision making for trauma patients. Although recent studies have suggested that rib fractures are dynamic, the degree of progressive offset remains unknown....
Rapid detection of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is crucial for assessing patients with neurological symptoms. Prioritising these urgent scans for reporting presents a challenge for radiologists. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a solution to ena...
BACKGROUND: The debate of whether to centralize hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery has been ongoing. The principal objective was to compare outcomes of a community pancreatic surgical program with those of high-volume academic centers.

BACKGROUND: Acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) is a well-described phenomenon known to begin shortly after injury. This has profound implications for resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock, as ATC is associated with increased risk for massive transfusi...
INTRODUCTION: Rising pediatric firearm-related fatalities in the United States strain Trauma Centers. Predicting trauma volume could improve resource management and preparedness, particularly if daily forecasts are achievable. The aim of the study is...

PURPOSE: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are often initially assessed by junior doctors under time constraints, with limited supervision, risking significant consequences if missed. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can aid in diagnosing fractures....
