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.
