Background: Natural language processing (NLP) may be a tool for automating trauma teamwork assessment in simulated scenarios.

Methods: Using the Trauma Nontechnical Skills Assessment (T-NOTECHS), raters assessed video recordings of trauma teams in simulated pre-debrief (Sim1) and post-debrief (Sim2) trauma resuscitations. We developed codes through directed content analysis and created algorithms capturing teamwork-related discourse through NLP. Using a within subjects pre-post design (n = 150), we compared changes in teams' Sim1 versus Sim2 T-NOTECHS scores and automatically coded discourse to identify which NLP algorithms could identify skills assessed by the T-NOTECHS.

Results: Automatically coded behaviors revealed significant post-debrief increases in teams' simulation discourse: Verbalizing Findings, Acknowledging Communication, Directed Communication, Directing Assessment and Role Assignment, and Leader as Hub for Information.

Conclusions: Our results suggest NLP can capture changes in trauma team discourse. These findings have implications for the expedition of team assessment and innovations in real-time feedback when paired with speech-to-text technology.

Background: The prevalence of trauma among individuals with HIV has prompted efforts to integrate trauma-informed care (TIC) into HIV care and treatment to improve health outcomes. A TIC Implementation Model, developed by a US capacity-building organization focuses on organizational changes, aligning cultural and physical environments, emphasizing values like safety and trustworthiness, engaging leadership, and training staff in skills-based TIC services. Despite growing research, gaps remain in understanding the relationship between organizational capacity, provider knowledge, and the dosage of technical assistance (TA) required to sustain TIC integration.

Context: There is a minimal number of studies of under-21-year-old national football teams, and the literature is injury centric. Particularly, current knowledge is deficient regarding noninjurious medical conditions, such as illnesses and diseases.

Design: The objectives of this study were to analyze the descriptive characteristics of injuries and illnesses or diseases encountered in an under-21 football team during 2 European championship qualification tournaments.

Objectives: Long bone fractures with concomitant vascular injury have the potential to be life and limb threatening injuries, with increased risk for limb loss. There is currently no established surgical order of operations for orthopaedic and vascular intervention. This study compares injury classification, warm ischemia time and patient outcomes in patients with long bone fractures and associated vascular injury after orthopaedic versus vascular primary intervention.
