Clinical decision support intervention for rib fracture treatment.
The authors developed an evidence-based rib fracture protocol and clinical decision support intervention (CDSI) at their institution. The purpose of their study was to evaluate implementation and clinical outcomes using this CDSI. They found that the development and use of a CDSI resulted in improved provider delivery of evidence-based practice and was associated with reduced hospital length of stay.

Hospital-level intensive care unit admission for patients with isolated blunt abdominal solid organ injury.
This study’s objective was to determine the optimal level of care for hemodynamically stable patients with isolated blunt hepatic, renal, or splenic injuries. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using the 2015 and 2016 National Trauma Data Bank. The intervariability of intensive care unit (ICU) admission for these patients was determined. Hospitals were categorized into quartiles based on the proportion of eligible patients admitted to an ICU. Primary outcomes were a composite of organ failure, infection, or death during hospitalization. Findings were that greater hospital-level ICU use was not associated with a decreased likelihood of the composite outcome or infection or death. These outcomes were fairly rare to begin with.

Secondary fracture prevention: consensus clinical recommendations from a multistakeholder coalition.
This article describes clinical recommendations that were developed by a multistakeholder coalition for the optimal prevention of secondary fractures among people aged 65 years and older with a hip or vertebral fracture. There were 13 recommendations developed (7 primary and 6 secondary).
