Preventable trauma deaths and health system strengthening recommendations
One-third of deaths were preventable or potentially preventable, demonstrating a decrease from a review of 2021 trauma deaths in the same system which found 45% to be preventable. Findings highlight a continued need to increase training and strategic utilization of limited existing resources, such as CT and operating theatres, to improve the quality of trauma care. Preventable trauma death reviews are a powerful methodology to inform actionable c…
Preventable trauma deaths in the Western Cape of South Africa
Injury causes 4.4 million deaths worldwide annually. 90% of all injury-related deaths occur in low-and-middle income countries. Findings from expert-led trauma death reviews can inform strategies to reduce trauma deaths. A cohort of trauma decedents was identified from an on-going study in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. For each case, demographics, injury characteristics, time and location of death and postmortem findings were collect…
Tobacco Cessation Among Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients in Kerala, India
Tobacco cessation is an important intervention to reduce mortality from ischemic heart disease, the leading cause of death in India. In this study, we explored facilitators, barriers, and cultural context to tobacco cessation among acute coronary syndrome (ACS, or heart attack) patients and providers in a tertiary care institution in the south Indian state of Kerala, with a focus on patient trajectories. Patients who quit tobacco after ACS expres…
Impact of an education-centered medical home on quality at a student-volunteer free clinic
This study demonstrates an association between a longitudinal ECMH clerkship and improved quality metrics at an SVFC. Even measures not targeted for intervention, such as colorectal cancer and hepatitis C, showed significant improvement in screening rates when compared with the standard clinical model
