Pediatric Trauma Undertriage
Background/Objectives : Pediatric trauma systems require accurate metrics for evaluating triage decisions. Undertriage occurs when an injured child requires pediatric trauma center resources but is treated at a center lacking those resources. Current undertriage definitions utilize mortality-based scores, including the Injury Severity Score (ISS) > 15 or the International Classification of Disease (ICD) Injury Severity Score (ICISS). However, res…
“You can only help them save the patient once they trust you”
While telemedicine applications in low- and middle-income countries are growing rapidly, few studies address the social and organizational factors of implementation essential to sustaining clinician engagement. This study aims to explore clinician experiences and perspectives of a pediatric emergency teleconsultation support program in Sindh, Pakistan, and theories of use behind its implementation in government hospitals. We conducted in-depth in…
Direct Healthcare Costs of Moderate and Severe Work-Related Injuries
Work-related injuries (WRIs) are recognized as a leading cause of admission to the national trauma center of Qatar. A retrospective analysis of trauma registry data and electronic medical records was conducted on a cohort of all WRI patients who were admitted to the Hamad Trauma Center (HTC), in Doha, Qatar, between 2011 and 2017. A total of 3757 WRI patients were treated at the HTC over the 7-year study period. The overall cost for treatment was…
Masking Behaviors in the Absence of Local Mandate—An Observational Study from Hillsborough County, Florida
The purpose of this study was to understand the predictors of masking-especially age, race/ethnicity and gender-in Hillsborough County Florida, a region without mask mandates. Masking and social distancing behaviors of individuals were observed in Hillsborough County during one-week intervals in July 2021, August 2021 and Late September-early October 2021. Demographic and behavioral observations were recorded and logistic regression was utilized …
Occupational Safety and Work-Related Injury Control Efforts in Qatar
Work-related injury (WRI) control is an integral part of occupational safety. In rapidly developing Gulf countries such as Qatar with a predominantly expatriate workforce, WRI control is a complex issue often seen in conjunction with the implementation of labour laws and labour rights. We aimed to implement a public health approach to facilitate efforts to achieve long-term WRI control in Qatar. A range of initiatives helped to gain visibility an…
Development of an mHealth trauma registry in the Middle East using an implementation science framework
BACKGROUND: Trauma registries (TRs) play a vital role in the assessment of trauma care, but are often underutilized in countries with a high burden of injuries. OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether information and communications technology (ICT) such as mobile health (mHealth) could enable the design of a tablet-based application for healthcare professionals. This would be used to inform trauma care and acquire surveillance data for injury control…
A successful model of road traffic injury surveillance in a developing country
We demonstrated that a functional RTI surveillance program can be established, and effectively managed in a developing country, despite lack of infrastructure and limitation of resources. Data utilization in the absence of well defined road safety infrastructure within the government is a challenge. More effective actions are hampered by the limited capacity in the transport and health sectors to do in-depth analysis through road safety audits an…
