A Population‐Based Survival Assessment of Categorizing Level III and IV Rural Hospitals as Trauma Centers
Context: Patients injured in rural areas are hypothesized to have improved outcomes if statewide trauma systems categorize rural hospitals as Level III and IV trauma centers, though evidence to support this belief is sparse. Purpose: To determine if there is improved survival among injured patients hospitalized in states that categorize rural hospitals as trauma centers. Methods: We analyzed a retrospective cohort of injured patients included in …
Racial Disparities in Mortality Among Adults Hospitalized After Injury
BACKGROUND: Injury is a major cause of death in adults. Although racial disparities in healthcare access and health outcomes are well documented for medical conditions, the influence of race on access to emergent care after injury has received little scrutiny. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine whether race was associated with risk of in-hospital death after injury. RESEARCH DESIGN: Data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project (1998-2002…

Mortality Among Seriously Injured Patients Treated in Remote Rural Trauma Centers Before and After Implementation of a Statewide Trauma System
BACKGROUND: Injury mortality in rural regions remains high with little evidence that trauma system implementation has benefited rural populations. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate risk-adjusted mortality in remote regions of Oregon before and after implementation of a statewide trauma system. RESEARCH DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study assessing injury mortality through 30 days after hospital discharge. SETTING: Nine rural Oregon hospitals serving counti…
