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...
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: 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...
A multi-objective optimization method based on an injury prediction model is proposed to address the increasingly prominent safety issues for e-bike riders in Chinese road traffic. This method aims to enhance the protective effect of vehicle front-en...
With the proliferation of wound assessment apps across various app stores and the increasing integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare apps, there is a growing need for a comprehensive evaluation system. Current apps lack sufficient e...
BACKGROUND: The effective management of trauma patients necessitates efficient triaging, timely activation of Massive Blood Transfusion Protocols (MTP), and accurate prediction of in-hospital outcomes. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have emerged as...
Rear-end (RE) crashes are notably prevalent and pose a substantial risk on freeways. This paper explores the correlation between speed difference among the following and leading vehicles (Δν) and RE crash risk. Three joint models, comprising both unc...
Speeding, a risky act of driving a vehicle at a speed exceeding the posted limit, has consistently emerged as a leading contributor to traffic fatalities. Identifying the risk factors associated with injury severity in speeding-related crashes is ess...
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...
