Background: Obesity is a known risk factor for thromboembolic complications in trauma patients. The aim of our study is to evaluate the prevalence of thrombotic complications in obese geriatric patients.
Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of TQIP (2017-2019).
Background: Hypothermia is known to contribute to poor outcomes in trauma patients during acute phases. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of hypothermia on admission, upon in-hospital complications and mortality in adult trauma patients.
Methods: We performed a 5-year analysis of ACS-TQIP database (2017-2021).
Article Synopsis
- This study assesses how traumatic injuries affect pregnant women by analyzing data from a national trauma database, focusing on outcomes like mortality and length of stay.
- Among 947,000 injured females, only 8421 were pregnant, with pregnant patients experiencing more severe injuries, particularly in the thoracic and abdominal areas, and higher rates of firearm-related injuries.
- Despite severe injuries, there was no significant difference in mortality rates between pregnant and non-pregnant patients, though pregnant women had longer ICU stays and higher rates of complications requiring additional interventions.
