Comparative analysis of the characteristics, care pathways, and outcomes of English and Welsh major trauma patients injured by high versus low energy transfer mechanisms in 2019
The increasing burden of major trauma from low-energy falls necessitates a re-evaluation of current trauma care systems and injury prevention strategies to better serve this distinct and growing patient population. Future research should focus on optimizing care pathways, defining patient orientated outcomes and improving outcomes for patients injured by low-energy falls.
