Abstract:

Increasing use of air bags and seat belts has led to the saving of many lives. However, the orthopaedic surgeon is now left to manage increasing numbers of serious foot and ankle trauma. It is important to injury prevention programs to have an injury severity scale for these injuries. The Abbreviated Injury Scale is used widely; however, it is intended primarily to gauge possibility of death after accidents. It is not sensitive enough to give meaningful data about the foot and ankle trauma epidemic. The Trauma Committee of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society has developed a rank or

The maxillofacial facial injury severity scale (FISS) scoring system was introduced to assess the patient's severity, prognosis, and outcome. Maxillofacial FISS has predictive value on the severity of head injuries. Method. This research uses analytic observation method with cross sectional design approach.

Abstract:

1 The reliability and validity of three different coma scales was studied in 26 patients with acute drug overdose. 2 A comparison of six painful stimulation techniques showed that sternal rubbing and retromandibular pressure were most effective. 3 The improper use of stimulation techniques may underestimate level of responsiveness in 4-19% of cases. 4 The Reaction Level Scale (RLS) was the most reliable scale. 5 Both the RLS and the Glasgow Coma Scale may be unnecessarily complicated for the evaluation of the drug overdose patient, but should be chosen if concomitant brain injury is suspected.

Objective: Accurate classification of traumatic brain injury (TBI) severity is essential to brain injury research. TBI heterogeneity complicates classification of the injury; is a significant barrier in the design of therapeutic interventions; and results in retrospective data which is difficult to translate.

Abstract:

Warning researchers have established a relationship between the explicitness of warnings and perceptions of product hazardousness and precautionary behavior. Earlier work demonstrated that two warning qualities, injury severity and length of injury, contributed to hazard perceptions. To understand further the hazard conveying qualities of warnings, it is necessary to scale potential injuries and illnesses that might result from product use. Fifty-eight different injuries and illnesses were paired with three different modifiers, mild, moderate, and severe. Severity ratings were obtained from 25

Abstract:

SHOWICD is an interactive computer program designed to document severity of injury from the ICD-9CM coded injury diagnoses of a particular patient. Two severity-of-injury scores [the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and the Injury Severity Score (ISS)] are used. By employing the AIS scores, the severity of injury may be assessed per body region. The ISS provides an over-all index or summary score for severity of injury of the whole body. SHOWICD allows the user to analyze the effects of different types of injuries on the Injury Severity Score. SHOWICD may be employed either alone as a program or

Abstract:

Very little research regarding standard treatments for pediatric traumatic brain injury (PTBI) exists. The objective of this study was to examine the use of intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring devices in PTBI and to determine if its use was associated with any outcome benefit. Data were collected from the Trauma Registry over an 11-year period (1996–2006) on all blunt trauma pediatric patients (age < 14 years) with an initial Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤ 8. Data collected included: demographics, admission Glasgow Coma Scale score, mechanism of injury, Injury Severity Score, Abbreviated Inj

Abstract:

The criterion validity of the factor index scores of the third edition of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-III) was evaluated in a sample of 88 children with traumatic head injury. (THI). Only Perceptual Organization and Processing Speed scores demonstrated acceptable sensitivity to injury severity. It is concluded that Processing Speed is an adequate measure of performance efficiency, but that Freedom from Distractibility may not be an adequate measure of attention in children with THI.

Abstract:

Introduction The financial cost of injuries sustained in road traffic crashes is high for victims, families and national budgets, but there is limited information on the cost of injury from the victims’ perspective, especially in terms of the hard-to-reach multi-trauma patient population such as those admitted to the intensive care units of hospitals. Materials and methods The current study received funding by the European Commission Directorate-General Mobility and Transport. It is a prospective, prevalence-based, cost-of-illness study. Participants admitted in the intensive care units of sev

Abstract:

Background: Alcohol use and traumatic brain injury (TBI) are closely linked public health problems. Alcohol intoxication is one of the major risk factor for TBI, and is a main determinant of prognosis in terms of mortality and functional outcome. The aim of the study is to find out the impact of alcoholism in the neurobehavioral outcome following TBI.Methods: A total of 150 head injury patients were divided into two groups: alcoholics and non-alcoholics, and evaluated between six weeks to one year after injury using the revised neurobehavioral rating scale by Levin et al (NRS-R) for the evalua

Abstract:

Background: Head injuries are a major cause of mortality and morbidity across the world. Effective initial assessment and early intervention is of importance in patients with traumatic brain injury, so as to ensure the maximum favorable outcome. Glasgow Coma Scale is the widely accepted scale to assess severity in head injury patients, albeit with many inadequacies. The objective of this study was to test the validity of full outline of unresponsiveness score, an alternate tool, in assessing severity in patients with traumatic brain injury.Methods: This was a descriptive study, conducted on 69

Abstract:

AbstractStudies report that the homicide rate has decreased considerably in most Western countries since the 1990s. However, few studies have examined the level of injury in homicides. The injury severity in homicide victims was studied in the Stockholm area using both the Homicide Injury Scale (HIS) and the number of lethal injuries per victim. Cases were included from four periods; 1976-78, 1986-88, 1996-98, and 2006-08. The number of homicides with overkill according to the HIS was significantly higher in 1996-98 compared to 1976-78. Compared with 1976-78, the number of lethal injuries per

Abstract:

A growing body of literature indicates that beta-blocker administration after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is cerebroprotective, limiting secondary injury; however, the effects of preinjury beta blocker status remain poorly understood. We sought to characterize the effects of pre- and post-injury beta-blocker administration on mortality with subanalyses accounting for head injury severity and myocardial injury.

Abstract:

Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study is to examine outcomes after discharge and identify factors from the index admission that may contribute to long-term mortality. Methods The study population is composed of patients who survived to discharge from a previously published study examining TBI. Demographics, injury severity, and length of stay were abstracted from the index study. Phone surveys of surviving patients were performed to evaluate each patient’s Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOSE). Patients who w
