Traumatic injury mortality prediction (TRIMP-ICDX): A new comprehensive evaluation model according to the ICD-10-CM codes.

Various assessment methods based on the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM), such as ICD-10-CM Injury Severity Score (ICISS), trauma mortality prediction model (TMPM-ICD10), and injury mortality prediction (IMP-ICDX), are purely anatomic trauma assessment, which need to be further improved. Traumatic injury mortality prediction (TRIMP-ICDX) is a comprehensive assessment method based on anatomic injuries and incorporating available information to determine whether it is superior to Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) and IMP-ICDX in predicting trauma outcomes. This retrospective cohort study was based on data from 704,287 trauma patients admitted to 710 trauma centers in the National Trauma Data Bank of the United States in 2016.

Treatment of Coronal Plane Femoral Intertrochanteric Fractures with a Microexternal Fixator Combined with Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation.

Objective: To investigate the different efficacy of proximal femoral nail antirotation (PFNA) combined with or without a microexternal fixator in the treatment of coral-plane femoral intertrochanteric fractures.

Methods: 120 patients with intertrochanteric coronal fractures who received treatment in four hospitals from February 2020 to February 2021 were retrospectively included in this study. They were divided into control (PFNA alone,  = 60) and combined treatment group (a microexternal fixator + PFNA,  = 60) according to different surgery methods.

A traumatic injury mortality prediction (TRIMP) based on a comprehensive assessment of abbreviated injury scale 2005 predot codes.

Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS)-based systems such as injury severity score (ISS), exponential injury severity score (EISS), trauma mortality prediction model (TMPM), and injury mortality prediction (IMP), classify anatomical injuries with limited accuracy. The widely accepted alternative, trauma and injury severity score (TRISS), improves the prediction rate by combining an anatomical index of ISS, physiological index (the Revised Trauma Score, RTS), and the age of patients. The study introduced the traumatic injury mortality prediction (TRIMP) with the inclusion of extra clinical information and aimed to compare the ability against the TRISS as predictors of survival.

IMP-ICDX: an injury mortality prediction based on ICD-10-CM codes.

Background: The International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Edition, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) Injury Severity Score (ICISS) is a risk adjustment model when injuries are recorded using ICD-9-CM coding. The trauma mortality prediction model (TMPM-ICD9) provides better calibration and discrimination compared with ICISS and injury severity score (ISS). Though TMPM-ICD9 is statistically rigorous, it is not precise enough mathematically and has the tendency to overestimate injury severity.

[Treatment of proximal humeral fractures with proximal humeral locking system plate via an intertubercular sulcus approach].

Objective: To observe the effect of proximal humerus internal locking system (PHILOS) plate in the treatment of Neer 2 and 3 part fractures of proximal humerus through tuberosity approach.

Methods: From July 2015 to January 2018, 15 cases of proximal humerus Neer 2 and 3 fractures were treated with PHILOS plate through intertubercular sulcus approach. There were 7 males and 8 females.

[Meta plate and cannulated screw fixation for treatment of type Letenneur III lateral Hoffa fracture through posterolateral approach].

Objective: To explore clinical effect of meta plate with cannulated screw fixation in treating Letenneur III lateral Hoffa fracture through posterolateral approach.

Methods: From June 2012 to June 2016, 12 patients with Letenneur III lateral Hoffa fracture were treated with meta plate and cannulated screw fixation through posterolateral approach, including 8 males and 4 females;aged from 22 to 66 years with an average of 42 years old;and 5 cases on left side, 7 cases on right side. Preoperative and postoperative X-ray and CT were taken before and after operation to assess location of fracture and fracture healing.

[Mini-locking plates for the treatment of Regan-Morrey type III fracture of ulnar coronoid process through anterior approach of elbow joint].

Objective: To explore clinical effects of mini-locking plates for the treatment of Regan-Morrey type III fractures of ulnar coronoid process through an anterior approach of elbow joint.

Methods: A retrospective analysis on 12 patients with Regan-Morrey type III fractures of the ulnar coronoid process was performed from January 2011 to June 2014, who were treated with unini-locking plates through the anterior approach of elbow joint. There were 7 males and 5 females, ranging in age from 23 to 65 years old, averaged 43 years old.

An injury mortality prediction based on the anatomic injury scale.

To determine whether the injury mortality prediction (IMP) statistically outperforms the trauma mortality prediction model (TMPM) as a predictor of mortality.The TMPM is currently the best trauma score method, which is based on the anatomic injury. Its ability of mortality prediction is superior to the injury severity score (ISS) and to the new injury severity score (NISS).
