Predicting mortality in adults hospitalized with multiple trauma: Can the BIG score estimate risk?
Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
January 2025
Background: This study aimed to compare the predictive performance of the BIG score (base deficit + [2.5 × international normalized ratio (INR)] + [15 - Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)]) for in-hospital mortality in adult patients with multiple trauma against other scoring systems, including the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS), and Injury Severity Score (ISS).
Methods: A retrospective single-center study was conducted, including 563 adults (aged ≥18 years) with multiple trauma who were admitted to the emergency department and hospitalized between January 2022 and December 2023.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated if intravenous calcium pretreatment can help prevent hypotension caused by diltiazem in adults with atrial fibrillation or flutter and fast heart rates.
- A total of 217 patients participated, being assigned to either a placebo group or groups receiving different doses of IV calcium before treatment with diltiazem.
- Results showed that calcium pretreatment was effective in preventing hypotension without reducing the effectiveness of diltiazem in controlling heart rates, and no significant side effects were noted between groups.
Ectodermal dysplasia with facial dysmorphism and acral, ocular, and brain anomalies (EDFAOB) is a rare neuroectodermal syndrome caused by somatic mosaic mutations in the RHOA gene. It presents with linear skin hypopigmentation, facial and limb asymmetry, dental and acral anomalies, and leukoencephalopathy, generally preserving intellectual and neurological functions. We report two cases of EDFAOB.
