This was conducted at a Level 1 Trauma Centre with no orthogeriatric service. A multidisciplinary review of the medical records by four specialists was performed to analyse errors of management and elements of preventable mortality. During 2011, there were 437 patients aged > 65 years admitted with a fracture of the hip (85 years (66 to 99)) and 20 died while in hospital (86.3 years (67 to 96)). A total of 152 errors were identified in the 80 individual reviews of the 20 deaths. A total of 99 errors (65%) were thought to have at least a moderate effect on death; 45 reviews considering death (57%) were thought to have potentially been preventable. Agreement between the panel of reviewers on the preventability of death was fair. A larger-scale assessment of preventable mortality in elderly patients who sustain a fracture of the hip is required. Multidisciplinary review panels could be considered as part of the quality assurance process in the management of these patients.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:00:54 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47458 Mon 23 Jan 2023 10:16:30 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49535 Mon 22 May 2023 08:37:58 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18674 2 is a good marker of polytrauma-better than other ISS cutoffs, which could also indicate monotrauma.

Furthermore, in final models, pedestrians were more likely to die than car occupants (OR: 1.68 – 1.77, 95CI%: 1.26 – 2.29 depending on comorbidity type). Conclusions: This study highlights the need to prioritize enhanced management of trauma patients with comorbidities, given the increasing prevalence of chronic medical conditions globally, together with actions to prevent pedestrian crashes in strategies to reach Vision Zero.]]> Mon 16 Oct 2023 10:51:47 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30269 Mon 11 Mar 2019 12:09:34 AEDT ]]>
