Gen Hosp Psychiatry . 2013 Jan; 35(2):174-80. PMID: 23273831
Objective: In 2005, the American College of Surgeons passed a mandate requiring that Level I trauma centers have a mechanism to identify patients who are problem drinkers and have the...

Abdalla A, Gunst M, Ghaemmaghami V, Gruszecki A, Urban J, Barber R, et al.
Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent) . 2012 Jul; 25(3):208-13. PMID: 22754116
This study applied a geographic information system (GIS) to identify clusters of injury-related deaths (IRDs) within a large urban county (26 cities; population, 2.4 million). All deaths due to injuries...

Shafi S, Renfro L, Barnes S, Rayan N, Gentilello L, Fleming N, et al.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg . 2012 Jun; 73(3):699-703. PMID: 22710768
Background: The Trauma Quality Improvement Program uses inhospital mortality to measure quality of care, which assumes patients who survive injury are not likely to suffer higher mortality after discharge. We...

Shafi S, Rayan N, Barnes S, Fleming N, Gentilello L, Ballard D
J Trauma Acute Care Surg . 2012 Apr; 72(4):870-7. PMID: 22491598
Background: The Trauma Quality Improvement Program has shown that risk-adjusted mortality rates at some centers are nearly 50% higher than at others. This "quality gap" may be due to different...

Rayan N, Barnes S, Fleming N, Kudyakov R, Ballard D, Gentilello L, et al.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg . 2012 Apr; 72(3):585-92. PMID: 22491540

Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent) . 2010 Oct; 23(4):355-8. PMID: 20944755
Return to work may be easily monitored as a surrogate of long-term functional outcome for benchmarking and performance improvement of trauma systems. We hypothesized that employment rates among survivors of...

Am J Surg . 2010 Oct; 200(4):496-9. PMID: 20887843
Background: More than 9,000 vehicle occupants die each year in side-impact vehicle collisions, primarily from head injuries. The authors hypothesized that side-curtain air bags significantly improve head and neck safety...
