    Abstract Introduction: Trauma accounts for 20% of deaths in pregnant women. Injury characterisation and outcome in pregnant women following trauma is poorly described. To understand and inform optimum care of this key injury population, a study was conducted using the Trauma Audit Research Network (TARN) database.
    Methods: In total, 341 pregnant and 26,774 non-pregnant female patients aged 15 to 46 years were identified for comparison from the TARN database. Mortality, cross-sectional imaging, blood product administration and EQ-5D scores were compared between the two groups. Mechanism of injury, Injury Severity Score (ISS) and mortality rate before and after the creation of regional trauma networks were reported for pregnant patients.
    Results: Pregnancy was recorded in 1.3% (341/27,115) of included patients, with the most common cause of injury being road traffic collisions. A reduction in crude maternal mortality was observed over the course of the study period (7.3% to 2.9%). Baseline mean EQ-5D (0.47) and EQ-VAS (54.08) improved to 0.81 (
    Conclusion: The incidence of trauma in pregnancy is small and mortality in injured pregnant women decreased over the study period. Pregnant patients have significantly improved patient-reported outcome measures 6 months after injury although this is limited in impact because of poor response rates and outcome reporting. Construction and validation of tools aiding in outcome reporting will help considerably in understanding further gains in the care of pregnant women.

    Abstract The UK has introduced legislation that requires net-zero greenhouse gas emissions to be achieved by 2050. Improving the energy efficiency of homes is a key objective to help reach this target, and the UK government's Clean Growth Strategy aims to get many homes up to an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) Band of C by 2035. The relationship between home energy-efficiency and occupant health and wellbeing remains an area of ongoing research. This paper explores the nexus between home energy efficiency, energy consumption and self-reported health-an indicator of the general health and wellbeing of the population. We focus on Greater London through secondary data analysis. Energy-efficiency ratings and air infiltration rates of dwellings, derived from EPCs, were aggregated and matched to local area self-reported health and energy consumption data obtained from the Greater London Authority's (GLA) Lower Layer Super Output Area (LSOA) Atlas database. Our regression model indicates that improving the energy efficiency (SAP) rating by 10 points for a typical home may reduce household gas consumption by around 7% (95% CIs: 2%, 14%). Beta regression finds a positive, but not statistically significant association between median SAP rating and the proportion of the population reporting 'good or very good' health when considering all Greater London LSOAs (z score = 0.60, p value = 0.55). A statistically significant positive association is observed however when repeating the analysis for the lowest income quartile LSOAs (z score = 2.03, p value = 0.04). This indicates that the least well-off may benefit most from home energy efficiency programs. A statistically significant positive association is also observed for the relationship between self-reported health and air infiltration rates (z score = 2.62, p value = 0.01). The findings support existing evidence for the predominantly naturally ventilated UK housing stock, suggesting that home energy efficiency measures provide a co-benefit for occupant health provided that adequate air exchange is maintained.

    Abstract Exposure to air pollution can lead to negative health impacts, with children highly susceptible due to their immature immune and lung systems. Childhood exposure may vary by socio-economic status (SES) due to differences in both outdoor and indoor air pollution levels, the latter of which depends on, for example, building quality, overcrowding and occupant behaviours; however, exposure estimates typically rely on the outdoor component only. Quantifying population exposure across SES requires accounting for variations in time-activity patterns, outdoor air pollution concentrations, and concentrations in indoor microenvironments that account for pollution-generating occupant behaviours and building characteristics. Here, we present a model that estimates personal exposure to PM
