Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how the duration of entrapment under rubble affected the health outcomes of crush-syndrome patients after the 1999 Marmara earthquake.
- The observational analysis included 539 patients from 35 hospitals, revealing an average entrapment time of 11.7 hours, with the majority rescued within 48 hours.
- Results indicated that longer time under the rubble was associated with more amputations and specific lab results but unexpectedly did not adversely impact survival or kidney function in patients.
