Predictors of oliguria in post-traumatic acute kidney injury.

Background: Acute kidney injury is classified by urine output into non-oliguric and oliguric variants. Non-oliguric acute kidney injury has lower morbidity and mortality and accounts for up to 64% of acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients. However, the incidence of non-oliguric acute kidney injury in the trauma population and whether the 2 variants of acute kidney injury share the same risk factors is unknown.

Applying the antecedent, behaviour, and consequence taxonomy to unintentional firearm injury as determined by a collaborative firearm injury database.

Background: Unintentional firearm injury (UFI) remains a significant problem in the USA with respect to preventable injury and death. The antecedent, behaviour and consequence (ABC) taxonomy has been used by law enforcement agencies to evaluate unintentional firearm discharge. Using an adapted ABC taxonomy, we sought to categorise civilian UFI in our community to identify modifiable behaviours.
