The burden of trauma in Eeyou Istchee (Cree territories, James Bay): epidemiology, transfers, and patient outcomes
There is a marked disparity in trauma-related mortality between Eeyou Istchee and the rest of Quebec, with motor vehicle collisions representing the leading cause of trauma death. Strengthening partnerships with local communities in Eeyou Istchee is essential to enhance awareness, promote injury prevention, and improve trauma system effectiveness in the region.
