Journal ArticleDOI
Preventable or potentially preventable mortality at a mature trauma center.
Pedro G.R. Teixeira,Kenji Inaba,Pantelis Hadjizacharia,Chelsea Brown,Ali Salim,Peter Rhee,Timothy Browder,Thomas T. Noguchi,Demetrios Demetriades +8 more
TL;DR: Preventable or potentially preventable deaths are rare but do occur at an academic Level I trauma center and delay in treatment and error in judgment are the leading causes of preventable and potentially Preventable deaths.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of trauma center designation and trauma volume on outcome in specific severe injuries
TL;DR: Level I trauma centers have better outcomes than lower-level centers in patients with specific injuries associated with high mortality and poor functional outcomes, and the volume of major trauma admissions does not influence outcome in either level I or II centers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Use of National Burden to Define Operative Emergency General Surgery
John W. Scott,Olubode A. Olufajo,Gabriel A. Brat,John A. Rose,Cheryl K. Zogg,Adil H. Haider,Ali Salim,Joaquim M. Havens +7 more
