“…Additional changes in care and injury epidemiology over this time interval are also summarized in a recent publication. 11 In conclusion, it can be surmised that prehospital reports of hypotension are approximately 50% sensitive in predicting sustained hypotension, but that the vast majority of these patients will still require a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure. With the use of persistent hypotension as a trigger for a "direct to the RAPTOR suite" policy will result in overtriage but may save lives.…”

“…As a consequence, it is clear that any patient with recorded hypotension will likely necessitate significant resource consumption. 11 The dominant limitations of these data include the following. (1) The registry data are retrospective, and therefore, the possibility of bias cannot be eliminated.…”

“…To avoid comparisons biased by seasonal injury, these patients (n = 357) were date-matched with a severely injured patient cohort from the same seasonal timeframe a year earlier (after ensuring that the preceding year matched a 5-year typical patient distribution). 3 Interestingly, while the median patient age (50.1 v. 52.3 yr, p > 0.05), Injury Severity Score (ISS; 19 v. 18, p > 0.05) and rate of hemodynamic instability at presentation remained static, the number of severely injured female patients decreased dramatically (29.1% v. 21.0%, p = 0.012). These observations reside in the context of fewer overall ED visits but similar severe polytrauma admissions (373 v. 357) over the same date range in the preceding year.…”

“…Afin d'évaluer l'incidence des comportements sociaux, des réalités économiques et des politiques de santé publique en contexte de pandémie sur les blessures graves, nous avons fait des recherches dans le registre de traumatologie du Centre médical Foothills, à Calgary (Canada), en visant les 3 mois suivant la déclaration d'une urgence de santé publique en Alberta (le 15 mars 2020). Pour tenir compte dans la comparaison du risque de biais découlant de la répartition saisonnière des blessures, les patients retenus (n = 357) ont été appariés selon la date à des patients gravement blessés d'une cohorte correspondant au même intervalle saisonnier de l'année précédente (après confirmation que cette année était typique d'une distribution normale de patients établie sur 5 ans) 3 . Notons que l'âge médian des patients (50,1 ans c. 52,3 ans, p > 0,05), l'indice de gravité des blessures (IGB; 19 c. 18, p > 0,05) et le pourcen tage d'instabilité hémodynamique à l'admission sont demeurés stables, mais que le nombre de femmes gravement blessées a connu une baisse dramatique (29,1 % c. 21,0 %, p = 0,012).…”
