Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship of blood product ratio to mortality: survival benefit or survival bias?
Christopher W. Snyder,Jordan A. Weinberg,Gerald McGwin,Sherry M. Melton,Richard L. George,Donald A. Reiff,James M. Cross,Jennifer Hubbard-Brown,Loring W. Rue,Jeffrey D. Kerby +9 more
TL;DR: An association between higher FFP:PRBC ratios at 24 hours and improved survival was observed, however, after adjustment for survival bias in the analysis, the association was no longer statistically significant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prospective study of blunt aortic injury: helical CT is diagnostic and antihypertensive therapy reduces rupture.
Timothy C. Fabian,Kimberly A. Davis,Morris L. Gavant,Martin A. Croce,Sherry M. Melton,Joe H. Patton,Constance K. Haan,Darryl S. Weiman,James W. Pate +8 more
TL;DR: HCTT is sensitive for diagnosing intimal injuries and pseudoaneurysms and early diagnosis with HCTT and presumptive treatment with the antihypertensive regimen eliminated in-hospital aortic rupture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of citicoline on functional and cognitive status among patients with traumatic brain injury: Citicoline Brain Injury Treatment Trial (COBRIT)
Ross Zafonte,Emilia Bagiella,Beth M. Ansel,Thomas A. Novack,William T. Friedewald,Dale C. Hesdorffer,Shelly D. Timmons,Jack Jallo,Howard M. Eisenberg,Tessa Hart,Joseph H. Ricker,Ramon Diaz-Arrastia,Randall Merchant,Nancy R. Temkin,Sherry M. Melton,Sureyya Dikmen +15 more
TL;DR: Among patients with traumatic brain injury, the use of citicoline compared with placebo for 90 days did not result in improvement in functional and cognitive status and there was no significant treatment effect in the 2 severity subgroups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early versus delayed feeding with an immune-enhancing diet in patients with severe head injuries.
TL;DR: No difference in length of stay or infectious complications is shown in patients with severe closed-head injury when they are given early vs delayed feeding using an immune-enhancing formula.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related gender differential in outcome after blunt or penetrating trauma.
Richard L. George,Gerald McGwin,Samuel T. Windham,Sherry M. Melton,Jesse Metzger,Irshad H. Chaudry,Loring W. Rue +6 more
TL;DR: The results of this study suggest that the physiologic pattern of premenopausal adult female sex hormones may provide a survival advantage in blunt trauma patients; however, the converse pattern prevails for the penetrating trauma patients.
