Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing trauma deaths in the United States.
Peter Rhee,Bellal Joseph,Viraj Pandit,Hassan Aziz,Gary Vercruysse,Narong Kulvatunyou,Randall S. Friese +6 more
TL;DR: Policy makers allocating resources should be made aware of the larger impact of trauma on the authors' aging and burgeoning US population, as trauma is now the leading cause of death for individuals 46 years and younger.
Journal ArticleDOI
Superiority of frailty over age in predicting outcomes among geriatric trauma patients: a prospective analysis
Bellal Joseph,Viraj Pandit,Bardiya Zangbar,Narong Kulvatunyou,Ammar Hashmi,Donald J. Green,Terence O'Keeffe,Andrew Tang,Gary Vercruysse,Mindy J. Fain,Randall S. Friese,Peter Rhee +11 more
TL;DR: The Frailty Index is an independent predictor of in-hospital complications and adverse discharge disposition in geriatric trauma patients and should be used as a clinical tool for risk stratification in this patient group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvements in early mortality and coagulopathy are sustained better in patients with blunt trauma after institution of a massive transfusion protocol in a civilian level I trauma center.
Christopher J. Dente,Beth H. Shaz,Jeffery M. Nicholas,Robert S. Harris,Amy D. Wyrzykowski,Snehal G. Patel,Amit J. Shah,Gary Vercruysse,David V. Feliciano,Grace S. Rozycki,Jeffrey P. Salomone,Walter L. Ingram +11 more
TL;DR: In the civilian setting, aggressive use of FFP and platelets drastically reduces 24-hour mortality and early coagulopathy in patients with trauma and reduction in 30 day mortality was only seen after blunt trauma in this small subset of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Validating Trauma-Specific Frailty Index for Geriatric Trauma Patients: A Prospective Analysis
Bellal Joseph,Viraj Pandit,Bardiya Zangbar,Narong Kulvatunyou,Andrew Tang,Terence O'Keeffe,Donald J. Green,Gary Vercruysse,Mindy J. Fain,Randall S. Friese,Peter Rhee +10 more
TL;DR: The modified 15-variable Trauma-Specific Frailty Index is an effective tool that can aid clinicians in planning discharge disposition of geriatric trauma patients and is an independent predictor of unfavorable discharge disposition in geriatrics trauma patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
A multidisciplinary clinical pathway decreases rib fracture-associated infectious morbidity and mortality in high-risk trauma patients.
S. Rob Todd,Michael M. McNally,John B. Holcomb,Rosemary A. Kozar,Lillian S. Kao,Ernest A. Gonzalez,Christine S. Cocanour,Gary Vercruysse,Marjorie H. Lygas,Bobbie K. Brasseaux,Frederick A. Moore +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multidisciplinary clinical pathway targeting patients greater than 45 years of age with more than 4 rib fractures was proposed. And the authors evaluated the effect of this pathway on infectious morbidity and mortality.
