Adding insult to injury: discontinuous insurance following spine trauma.
The researchers evaluated patterns of discontinuation of initial insurance coverage for patients who undergo surgery for traumatic spine injury with and without spinal cord injury and compare these patterns with those for matched control subjects. They found a twofold increased risk of insurance discontinuation for patients with traumatic spine injury without spinal cord injury and a nearly threefold increased risk for patients with spinal cord injury.

A consensus statement on trauma mental health: the New Haven Competency Conference process and major findings.
The purpose of this article was to state the need for a comprehensive model of trauma-focused, empirically informed competencies for psychiatrists, and describe the work resulting from the New Haven Competencies consensus conference. The 60 participating experts outlined 5 broad foundational and functional competencies in the areas of trauma-focused and trauma-informed scientific knowledge, psychosocial assessment, psychosocial interventions, professionalism, and relational and systems. Eight cross-cutting competencies were voted into the resulting consensus statement.

Motor vehicle crash severity estimations by physicians and prehospital personnel.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether emergency physicians (EPs) and EMS personnel differ in their assessment of motor vehicle collision severity and the potential for serious injury when viewing crash scene photographs. They found excellent crash and injury agreement at both ends of the severity spectrum but only modest agreement, and therefore greater variability, in the middle of the severity spectrum.

Severity-adjusted mortality in trauma patients transported by police.
Two decades ago, Philadelphia began allowing police transport of patients with penetrating trauma. In this retrospective cohort study, the investigators conduct a large, multiyear, citywide analysis of this policy. They examine the association between mode of out-of-hospital transport (police department versus emergency medical services [EMS]) and mortality among patients with penetrating trauma in Philadelphia.

Traumatic intracranial injury in intoxicated patients with minor head trauma.
This study to estimate the prevalence of intracranial injury following minor head injury found that 8% of 225 intoxicated patients with minor head injury had clinically important injuries requiring either hospital admission or neurosurgical followup. Neither the Canadian CT Head Rule nor NEXUS criteria had adequate sensitivity to be used with these patients.
