Time trend analysis of Injury Severity score of adult trauma patients with emergent CT examination.
Purpose: Controversy exists about whole-body computed tomography (CT) as a primary screening modality for suspected multiple trauma patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze time trends of CT examinations for trauma patients in relation to the Injury Severity Score (ISS).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 561 adult trauma patients (mean age = 54 years) who were admitted to the trauma room of our hospital, immediately followed by a CT examination, in 2009, 2013 und 2017. Review of electronic patient charts was performed to determine the cause of injury. ISS was either calculated upon hospital charts and CT imaging reports or documented in the TraumaRegister DGU® for trauma patients with ICU treatment or ISS ≥ 16.
Results: An increasing number of CT examinations of acute trauma patients were performed at our hospital with 117 patients in 2009 compared to 192 in 2013 and 252 in 2017. Their mean age increased (50 years in 2009, 54 in 2013 and 55 in 2017;p = 0.046), whereas their mean ISS decreased over time (15.2 in 2009 compared to 12.1 in 2013 and 10.6 in 2017;p = 0.001), especially in women (15.1 in 2009, 11.8 in 2013 and 7.4 in 2017;p = 0.001 both), younger age groups (18 to 24 years:15.6 in 2009, 6.5 in 2013 and 8.9 in 2017; p = 0.033 and 25 to 49 years:15.0 in 2009, 11.2 in 2013 and 8.3 in 2017;p = 0.001) as well as motor vehicle collision (MVC) victims (16.2 in 2009, 11.8 in 2013 and 6.1 in 2017; p < 0.001). Trauma patients with a high ISS were especially more likely of older age (OR 1.02,p < 0.001) and with the type of incident being a fall (< 3 m: OR3.84,p < 0.001;>3 m: OR6.22,p < 0.001) compared to MVC.
Conclusion: Previous studies suggesting a benefit of primary whole-body CT for trauma patients might not reflect the current patient population with decreasing ISS. Especially females, younger age groups and MVC patients might benefit from stricter selection criteria for receiving whole-body CT. Our results also emphasize the importance of prevention of fall or tumble for elderly people.
