TL;DR: A case-control retrospective analysis was performed of the 2015-2016 American College of Surgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program data set, a national multi-institutional database of trauma patients in the United States, finding that patients who underwent REBOA placement were more likely to develop acute kidney injury and to undergo lower extremity amputation.

TL;DR: Although the use of a preoperative biliary stent increases the postoperative wound infection rate by about 5%, there is no overwhelming evidence that it either promotes or protects from the other complications.

TL;DR: The use of NOACs generally carries a high risk of bleeding and can be detrimental in head injuries with ICH and primary care physicians and cardiologists need to reconsider the need for anticoagulation and the type of agent used and weigh it against the risk of bleed.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that in geriatric EGS patients, a frail status independently contributes to FTR and increases the odds of FTR threefold compared with nonfrail status, and should be included in quality metrics for geriatricEGS patients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the efficacy of 4-Factor Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (4-PCC) as an adjunct to fresh frozen plasma (FFP) in reversal of coagulopathy of trauma (COT) has not been studied.
