Survival of the fastest? A descriptive analysis of severely injured trauma patients primarily admitted or secondarily transferred to major trauma centers in a Danish inclusive trauma system
Secondary trauma patients had higher Injury Severity Scores and better survival rates. They were considered less urgent by medical dispatchers and less frequently assessed by physician-staffed units. Prospective quality data are needed for further investigation of optimal triage and continuous quality improvement in trauma care.
