Objective: We investigated the predictors of mortality in major trauma patients using a trauma registry system database.
Methods: Data were obtained from the trauma registry of a level I trauma center for all patients aged ≥18 years admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) between January 1, 2006 and December 31, 2013. Models were adjusted for patient demographics, injury mechanism, preexisting comorbidity, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), injury severity score (ISS), emergency department (ED) and ICU procedures, surgical procedures, and complications. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine predictors of mortality and odds ratios of its associated factors.
Results: In total, 1561 patients met the inclusion criteria. The overall mortality rate was 13.4%. After controlling for all variables in a logistic regression model, the factors associated with increased mortality risk (P < 0.05) were age ≥ 45 years; ISS > 24; GCS score < 8 and 8-12; fall accident; preexisting comorbidity of renal insufficiency; ED cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedures; ICU blood transfusion; and cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive system and infection complications.
Conclusion: Our data showed some predictors of patient mortality after major trauma, most of which were determined during the trauma event. Only those treatment complications may be improved when performing the treatment procedures.

Background: Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating ADHD medications often use strict eligibility criteria, potentially limiting generalisability to patients in real-world clinical settings. We aimed to identify the proportion of individuals with ADHD who would be ineligible for medication RCTs and evaluate differences in treatment patterns and clinical and functional outcomes between RCT-eligible and RCT-ineligible individuals.
Methods: We used multiple Swedish national registries to identify individuals with ADHD, aged at least 4 years at the age of diagnosis, initiating pharmacological treatment between Jan 1, 2007, and Dec 31, 2019, with follow-up up to Dec 31, 2020.

Trauma Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia Health, Halifax, NS B3H 2Y9, Canada. Electronic address:
Introduction: The combination of burns and non-thermal trauma may have a synergistic effect on mortality. Our objective was to determine if burn patients with concomitant trauma are at increased risk of mortality in both the prehospital and in-hospital settings.
Methods: Data were collected from a population-based provincial trauma registry (2001-2019).

VA Boston Healthcare System, Jamaica Plain, MA, USA.
Background: Mixed dementia type - Alzheimer's Disease (AD), cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), and vascular - is vastly recognized as a cause of dementia in older adults. Whereas CAA, primarily leptomeningeal, is a frequent complication in hereditary transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (TTRCA), it is unusually reported in association with wild-type TTR, with or without polyneuropathy. The knowledge of mixed dementia and wild-type TTR association is even scarcer.

Background: Women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) face complexities of disease management during pregnancy and childbirth. Apprehension regarding vaginal delivery in pregnant individuals with IBD persists due to concern for perianal disease and perineal trauma. The incidence of poor wound healing after obstetric anal sphincter injury is approximately 4% in the general population.
