The incidence and magnitude of fibrinolytic activation in trauma patients.

TLDR
Paradigms in clinical trials suggest a much broader indication for antifibrinolytics than previously thought, and suggest the need for additional drugs to treat trauma is much greater than currently thought.

Hyperfibrinolysis, physiologic fibrinolysis, and fibrinolysis shutdown: the spectrum of postinjury fibrinolysis and relevance to antifibrinolytic therapy.

TL;DR: A U-shaped distribution of death related to the fibrinolysis system in response to major trauma is identified, with a nadir in mortality, with level of fibrinelysis after 30 minutes between 0.81% and 2.9%.

Effects of tranexamic acid on death, vascular occlusive events, and blood transfusion in trauma patients with significant haemorrhage (CRASH-2): a randomised, placebo-controlled trial

TL;DR: Tranexamic acid safely reduced the risk of death in bleeding trauma patients in this study, and should be considered for use in bleed trauma patients.

Epidemiology of trauma deaths: a reassessment

TL;DR: There was an improved access to the medical system, greater proportion of late deaths due to brain injury and lack of the classic trimodal distribution, in the Denver City and County trauma system during 1992.

Acute traumatic coagulopathy.

TL;DR: There is a common and clinically important acute traumatic coagulopathy that is not related to fluid administration that is related to mortality and a coagulation screen is an important early test in severely injured patients.

The global burden of injuries.

TL;DR: Public health officials must gain a better understanding of the magnitude and characteristics of the problem, contribute to the development and evaluation of injury prevention programs, and develop the best possible prehospital and hospital care and rehabilitation for injured persons.
