Development and validation of a pre-hospital “Red Flag” alert for activation of intra-hospital haemorrhage control response in blunt trauma

Abstract: BackgroundHaemorrhagic shock is the leading cause of early preventable death in severe trauma. Delayed treatment is a recognized prognostic factor that can be prevented by efficient organization of care. This study aimed to develop and validate Red Flag, a binary alert identifying blunt trauma patients with high risk of severe haemorrhage (SH), to be used by the pre-hospital trauma team in order to trigger an adequate intra-hospital standardized haemorrhage control response: massive transfusion protocol and/or… Show more

“…Multicollinearity was avoided using Spearman correlation analyses between variables. Based on a previous study [17], variables with |r| > 0.8 in the Spearman correlation analysis were removed. However, the maximum value of the correlation coefficient in this study was r � 0.278.…”

“…In the database, hemorrhagic shock is defined by the transfusion of at least four units of packed red blood cells (RBC) within the first 6 h [14, 15]. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is defined by at least one traumatic lesion on the initial cerebral CT scan.…”

“…Other independent variables with p < 0.05 in the univariate model were selected. In addition, a variable with |r| > 0.8 in the spearman correlation analysis of between each variable was removed to avoid multicollinearity 35 . The ORs and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated for each potential risk factor.…”
