Trauma outcomes in elderly patients referring to the emergency department via the rapid emergency medicine score, injury severity
score, and geriatric trauma outcome score indices
Abstract
Background Accurate early risk stratification of older trauma patients is essential for appropriate triage and resource
allocation. We compared the discriminatory performance of three prognostic scores—Rapid Emergency Medicine
Score…

Mortality and reproducibility of calcium
measurements in patients with hypercalcemia
reporting to the emergency department of a
tertiary German hospital
Abstract
Background Severe hypercalcemia often results in the referral of patients to the emergency department (ED), as
life-threatening consequences are feared. However, the available literature concerning the causes of hypercalcemia,
mortality…

Adjusting EWS scores for altitude above sea level: is it necessary to predict sepsis mortality in the emergency room?
Abstract
Background Sepsis mortality can be significantly reduced with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. It
is crucial to have tools that enable the early identification of patients at high risk of sepsis mortality from the triage
stage.…

Sepsis in patients with severe TBI: a retrospective CT scoring study
Abstract
Background Multiple organ failure (MOF) is a severe complication associated with high mortality in sepsis after
severe TBI (sTBI).
Objective To investigate the usefulness of a rapid computed tomography (CT) screening score for predicting…

Accessory spleens, mixed hiatal hernia, and incisional hernias: a complex case of multidisciplinary surgical management
Abstract
Background Accessory spleens, arising from incomplete fusion during embryogenesis, are frequent developmental
anomalies detected incidentally in abdominal imaging studies. Despite surgical advancements, post-laparotomy
incisional hernias…

Successful management of life-threatening spontaneous inferior thyroid artery rupture in neurofibromatosis type 1: a rare case report
Abstract
Background Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with cutaneous
and vascular complications. Arterial rupture, including the rare involvement of the subclavian artery, can be life-
threatening. We…
