BACKGROUND: Injuries constitute a significant global public health concern, particularly among individuals aged 0-34. These injuries are affected by various social, psychological, and physiological factors and are no longer viewed merely as accidenta...
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: 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...
OBJECTIVES: The paper develops a machine learning-based safety index for classifying traffic conflicts that can be used to estimate the frequency of signalized intersection crashes, with a focus on the more severe ones that result in fatal and severe...

OBJECTIVE: Most current wound size measurement devices or applications require manual wound tracing and reference markers. Chronic wound care usually relies on patients or caregivers who might have difficulties using these devices. Considering a more...
Fall from a height trauma is characterized by a multiplicity of injuries, related to multiple factors. The height of the fall is the factor that most influences the kinetic energy of the body and appears to be one of the factors that most affects the...
This paper describes the use of digital solutions to improve the care of trauma patients in Germany. The focus is on the trauma networks of the German Society for Trauma Surgery (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Unfallchirurgie, DGU). The use of digital sol...
The proliferation of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Generative AI) has led to an increased reliance on AI-generated content for designing and deploying digital health interventions. While generative AI has the potential to facilitate and automat...
