Are rib fractures stable? An analysis of progressive rib fracture offset in the acute trauma setting.

The journal of trauma and acute care surgery
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....

Development of a field artificial intelligence triage tool: Confidence in the prediction of shock, transfusion, and definitive surgical therapy in patients with truncal gunshot wounds.

The journal of trauma and acute care surgery
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 ...

Dynamic impact of transfusion ratios on outcomes in severely injured patients: Targeted machine learning analysis of the Pragmatic, Randomized Optimal Platelet and Plasma Ratios randomized clinical trial.

The journal of trauma and acute care surgery
BACKGROUND: Massive transfusion protocols to treat postinjury hemorrhage are based on predefined blood product transfusion ratios followed by goal-directed transfusion based on patient's clinical evolution. However, it remains unclear how these trans...

Artificial neural networks can predict trauma volume and acuity regardless of center size and geography: A multicenter study.

The journal of trauma and acute care surgery
BACKGROUND: Trauma has long been considered unpredictable. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have recently shown the ability to predict admission volume, acuity, and operative needs at a single trauma center with very high reliability. This model has ...

Natural language processing and machine learning to identify alcohol misuse from the electronic health record in trauma patients: development and internal validation.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Alcohol misuse is present in over a quarter of trauma patients. Information in the clinical notes of the electronic health record of trauma patients may be used for phenotyping tasks with natural language processing (NLP) and supervised ma...

Artificial intelligence can predict daily trauma volume and average acuity.

The journal of trauma and acute care surgery
BACKGROUND: The goal of this study was to integrate temporal and weather data in order to create an artificial neural network (ANN) to predict trauma volume, the number of emergent operative cases, and average daily acuity at a Level I trauma center.
