Outpatient mental health service use in major trauma survivors: A population-based cohort study from Ontario, Canada.

Background: Mental health is recognized as an important outcome in major trauma survivors. There are limited data on how and when survivors access mental health services. Our objectives were to determine the frequency, timing, and factors associated with outpatient mental health service utilization in major trauma survivors.

Prehospital non-drug assisted intubation for adult trauma patients with a Glasgow Coma Score less than 9.

Objectives: Prehospital airway management for adult trauma patients remains controversial. We sought to review the frequency that paramedic non-drug assisted intubation or attempted intubation is performed for trauma patients in Ontario, Canada, and determine its association with mortality.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Ontario Trauma Registry's Comprehensive Data Set for 2002-2009.
