    Abstract The Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) approach is generally accepted as the standard of care for the initial management of severely injured patients. While whole body computed tomography (WBCT) is still considered a contraindication in haemodynamically unstable trauma patients, there is a growing amount of data indicating the absence of harm from cross sectional imaging in this patient group. Our study aimed to compare the early mortality of unstable trauma patients undergoing a WBCT during the initial workup with those who did not. Single-center retrospective observational study based on the local trauma registry including 3525 patients with an ISS > 15 from January 2008 to June 2020. We compared the 24-h mortality of injured patients in circulatory shock undergoing WBCT with a control group undergoing standard workup only. Inclusion criteria were the simultaneous presence of a systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg, lactate > 2.2 mmol/l and base excess < - 2 mmol/l as surrogate markers for circulatory shock. To control for confounding, a propensity score matched analysis with conditional logistic regression for adjustment of residual confounders and a sensitivity analysis using inverse probability weighting (IPW) with and without adjustment were performed. Of the 3525 patients, 161 (4.6%) fulfilled all inclusion criteria. Of these, 132 (82%) underwent WBCT and 29 (18%) standard work-up only. In crude and matched analyses, no difference in early (24 h) mortality was observed (WBCT, 23 (17.4%) and no-WBCT, 8 (27.6%); p = 0.21). After matching and adjustment for main confounders, the odds ratio for the event of death at 24 h in the WBCT group was 0.36 (95% CI 0.07-1.73); p = 0.20. In the present study, WBCT did not increase the risk of death at 24 h among injured patients in shock. This adds to the growing data indicating that WBCT may be offered to trauma patients in circulatory shock without jeopardizing early survival.

    Abstract Background: Urgent treatment with tranexamic acid (TXA) reduces bleeding deaths but there is disagreement about which patients should be treated. We examine the effects of TXA treatment in severely and non-severely injured trauma patients.
    Study design and methods: We did an individual patient data meta-analysis of randomized trials with over 1000 trauma patients that assessed the effects of TXA on survival. We defined the severity of injury according to characteristics at first assessment: systolic blood pressure of less than 90 mm Hg and a heart rate greater than 120 beats per minute or Glasgow Coma Scale score of less than nine or any GCS with one or more fixed dilated pupils. The primary measure was survival on the day of the injury. We examined the effect of TXA on survival in severely and non-severely injured patients and how these effects vary with the time from injury to treatment.
    Results: We obtained data for 32,944 patients from two randomized trials. Tranexamic acid significantly increased survival on the day of the injury (OR = 1.22, 95% CI 1.11-1.34; p < .01). The effect of tranexamic acid on survival in non-severely injured patients (OR = 1.25, 1.03-1.50) was similar to that in severely injured patients (OR = 1.22, 1.09-1.37) with no significant heterogeneity (p = .87). In severely and non-severely injured pateints, treatment within the first hour after injury was the most effective.
    Discussion: Early tranexamic acid treatment improves survival in both severely and non-severely injured trauma patients. Its use should not be restricted to the severely injured.

    Abstract Background and importance: Current guidelines recommend noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) followed by lumbar puncture for the diagnosis of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Alternative strategies, including clinical risk stratification and CT angiography (CTA), are emerging.
    Objective: To evaluate alternative strategies to current guidelines through clinical risk stratification.
    Design, setting and participants: Single-site, retrospective observational study of patients with SAH suspicion, from 2011 to 2016. We combined results of each investigation (NCCT, CTA and lumbar puncture) with a clinical risk assessment, including Ottawa score.
    Exposure: Comparing the current strategy (NCCT ± lumbar puncture if negative CT) to alternative strategies (NCCT + CTA ± lumbar puncture if high clinical risk or negative CT and onset of headache ≥12 h o dds ratio ≥24 h).
    Outcome measure and analysis: Main outcome was diagnosis of SAH at hospital discharge. Secondary outcomes were death from all causes and need for invasive procedures at 28 days. We used sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value (NPV) to evaluate the diagnostic performance of three strategies.
    Main results: 310 patients were included. SAH was diagnosed in 8 cases (2.6%), none died and 7 (2.2%) had a surgical procedure. Performances of different strategies were not statistically different. NPVs were 99.7% [95% Confidence interval (CI), 98.2-100%] for strategy 1 and 100% (95% CI, 98.8-100%) for strategies 2 and 3. More than 4000 lumbar punctures are needed to diagnose one SAH when CTA is performed within 24 h of symptoms' onset and absence of high-risk criteria.
    Conclusion: Clinical risk stratification and CTA strategy are well-tolerated and effective for diagnosis of SAH, avoiding systematic use of lumbar puncture.

    Abstract Upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB) presents a high incidence in an emergency department (ED) and requires careful evaluation of the patient's risk level to ensure optimal management. The primary aim of this study was to externally validate and compare the performance of the Rockall score, Glasgow-Blatchford score (GBS), modified GBS and AIMS65 score to predict death and the need for an intervention among patients with UGIB. This was a cross-sectional observational study of patients consulting the ED of a Swiss tertiary care hospital with UGIB. Primary outcomes were the inhospital need for an intervention, including transfusion, or an endoscopic procedure or surgery or inhospital death. The secondary outcome was inhospital death. We included 1521 patients with UGIB, median age, 68 (52-81) years; 940 (62%) were men. Melena or hematemesis were the most common complaints in 1020 (73%) patients. Among 422 (28%) patients who needed an intervention or died, 76 (5%) died in the hospital. Accuracy of the scoring systems assessed by receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the Glasgow-Blatchford bleeding and modified GBSs had the highest discriminatory capacity to determine inhospital death or the need of an intervention [AUC, 0.77 (95% CI, 0.75-0.80) and 0.78 (95% CI, 0.76-0.81), respectively]. AIMS65 and the pre-endoscopic Rockall score showed a lower discrimination [AUC, 0.68 (95% CI, 0.66-0.71) and 0.65 (95% CI, 0.62-0.68), respectively]. For a GBS of 0, only one patient (0.8%) needed an endoscopic intervention. The modified Glasgow-Blatchford and Glasgow-Blatchford bleeding scores appear to be the most accurate scores to predict the need for intervention or inhospital death.

    Abstract Background: Patients with severe pelvic fractures carry a greater risk of severe bleeding, and pelvic compression devices (PCCD) are used to stabilize the pelvis on the pre-hospital scene. The aim of this study was to describe the use of PCCD in the pre-hospital setting on a nationwide scale (Switzerland) and determine the sensitivity, specificity and rates of over- and under-triage of the current application practices. The secondary objective was to identify pre-hospital factors associated with unstable pelvic fractures.
    Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study using anonymized patient data (1 January 2015-31 December 2020) from the Swiss Trauma Registry (STR). Based on AIS scores, patients were assigned a unique principal diagnosis among three categories (unstable pelvic fracture-stable pelvic fracture-other) and assessed for use or not of PCCD. Secondarily, patient characteristics, initial pre-hospital vital signs, means of pre-hospital transport and trauma mechanism were also extracted from the database.
    Results: 2790 patients were included for analysis. A PCCD was used in 387 (13.9%) patients. In the PCCD group, 176 (45.5%) had an unstable pelvic fracture, 52 (13.4%) a stable pelvic fracture and 159 (41.1%) an injury unrelated to the pelvic region. In the group who did not receive a PCCD, 214 (8.9%) had an unstable pelvic fracture, 182 (7.6%) a stable pelvic fracture and 2007 (83.5%) an injury unrelated to the pelvic region. The nationwide sensitivity of PCCD application was 45.1% (95% CI 40.1-50.2), the specificity 91.2% (95% CI 90-92.3), with both over- and under-triage rates of 55%. The prevalence of unstable fractures in our population was 14% (390/2790). We identified female sex, younger age, lower systolic blood pressure, higher shock index, pedestrian hit and fall ≥3 m as possible risk factors for an unstable pelvic fracture.
    Conclusions: Our results demonstrate a nationwide both over- and under-triage rate of 55% for out-of-hospital PCCD application. Female gender, younger age, lower blood pressure, higher shock index, pedestrian hit and fall >3 m are possible risk factors for unstable pelvic fracture, but it remains unclear if those parameters are relevant clinically to perform pre-hospital triage.

    Title translation Study of cardiovascular drugs usage, among elderly subjects admitted to the emergency department for syncopal falls in Rhône-Alpes region.
    Abstract Study of cardiovascular drugs usage, among elderly subjects admitted to the emergency department for syncopal falls in Rhône-Alpes region. Polypharmacy and cardiovascular medication usage are risk factors for falls in the elderly. This study included subjects aged 75 and over, admitted in the emergency department for falls, based on evaluation data of professional practices carried out in the Nord Alpine region by the French Network of North-Alps Emergency Departments (Réseau Nord Alpin des Urgences, RENAU). The patients included were divided into 4 groups: "syncope", "accidental falls", "repeated falls" and "other types of fall". From the emergency room admission prescriptions, we studied the consumption of cardiovascular drugs in number and quality in the "syncope" group compared to other types of falls. The main objective in this study was to highlight higher cardiovascular drug usage among the elderly patients admitted to the emergency department for syncopal falls, in comparison with other types of falls. We included 1,476 patients among whom 262 patients came for "syncopal falls". We found superior usage of cardiovascular medication among syncopal falls compared to other type of falls (p < 0,01). However, there is no statistically significant association between inappropriate cardiovascular drug prescriptions, and the type of falls. The "standardized" fall assessment whose orthostatic hypotension investigation, is not always exhaustive in the emergency room. Orthostatic hypotension diagnostic is insufficiently sought in the emergency room. This study highlights a significantly higher usage of diuretic medication within the syncope group, in comparison to the other groups, and especially loop diuretic. Antihypertensive drugs (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, angiotensin II receptor blockers, calcium inhibitor) are also recurrent within the syncope group compared to the others. A careful supervising of these prescriptions among elderly patients seems required. These data prompt to revise prescriptions during fall related hospitalizations, and then with the primary-care physician, or with the cardiologist.
