An observational study in Penetrating Trauma Registry and Open Source Data, sponsored by Methodist Health System. Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 16 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-11-18.
Sponsored by Methodist Health System · Observational
Penetrating injuries comprise roughly 30% of Methodist Health System (MHS) trauma patients. Firearm-related events have become more prevalent in the past few years. Active shooter events, mass casualties, assaults, and homicide are more commonplace which leads to an increase of trauma patients needing management of penetrating injuries.
Penetrating injuries comprise roughly 30% of Methodist Health System (MHS) trauma patients. Firearm-related events have become more prevalent in the past few years . Active shooter events, mass casualties, assaults, and homicide are more commonplace which leads to an increase of trauma patients needing management of penetrating injuries. On average, penetrating traumas only make up 14% of comparable center patient volumes. In spring 2022, we also were ranked 3/10 for our penetrating trauma outcomes with lower than expected mortality (TQIP Benchmarking Report). Together, as a Level 1 trauma center with above average penetrating injury volume we must take efforts to best understand the opportunities for our patients and disseminate those observations to the trauma community
