Do Entrapment, Injuries, Outcomes and Potential for Self-Extrication Vary with Age? A Pre-Specified Analysis of the UK Trauma Registry (TARN)

Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs), particularly those associated with entrapment, are a common cause of major trauma. Current extrication methods are focused on spinal movement minimisation and mitigation, but for many patients self-extrication may be an appropriate alternative. Older drivers and passengers are increasingly injured in MVCs and may be at an increased risk of entrapment […]

Sex-Disaggregated Analysis of the Injury Patterns, Outcome Data and Trapped Status of Major Trauma Patients Injured in Motor Vehicle Collisions: a Prespecified Analysis of the UK Trauma Registry (TARN)

Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world accounting for 1.35 million deaths and between 20 and 50 million injuries worldwide per annum. To our knowledge, no studies have considered the differences in injury patterns, entrapment status and morbidity and mortality outcomes between female and male patients. Failure […]
