The predictive utility is defined in terms of the physiologic measure’s ability to identify patients who have severe injury. Defining and operationalizing what ‘‘severe injury’’ means is challenging for several reasons. Whether a patient had a serious injury at the time of field triage cannot be determined conclusively and we expect that clinical outcomes (e.g., death or disability) are affected by out-of-hospital and in-hospital treatment (i.e., a person can have a serious injury and recover). For this reason, we accept several indicators that a patient was seriously injured. These include outcomes, such as death, whether the patient required treatments and interventions used for serious injury, or whether the injury is rated as severe using accepted rating scales. It is possible the review will identify additional indicators that a patient had a severe injury; however the following list includes those that have been used in prior research. Indicators of Serious Injury I. In-hospital mortality. II. Resource use/intervention standards or lists. a. Published Consensus-Based Criterion Standard—This list defines need for trauma center care as any one of the following 10 specific indicators: Major surgery, advanced airway, blood products, admission for spinal cord injury, thoracotomy, pericardiocentesis, cesarean delivery, intracranial pressure monitoring, interventional radiology, and in-hospital death. b. Need For Life-Saving Interventions—Lists used by the U.S. military that include angioembolization, blood transfusion, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, chest tube, intubation, needle decompression, surgical cricothyrotomy or thoracotomy, pericardiocentesis, angiography with embolization, angiography without and surgical intervention. c. Major Surgery—Not including orthopedic surgery. d. Ratings of Injury Severity—Injury Severity Score (ISS) >15, as this is a commonly used threshold for high risk patients, but other cut-offs will be considered if used in included studies. The ISS score is based on an assessment that divides the body into nine regions, classifies the level of injury in each of the three most severely injured regions VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:09 Mar 29, 2017 Jkt 241001 15709 on a scale of 1 to 6, squares these values, and adds them together. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Timing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Physiological measures upon the arrival of EMS personnel to the scene of injury, during treatment in the field, and during transport (referred to as out-ofhospital or in the field). Studies with measures taken upon arrival at an emergency department will be considered. Details about timing of measurement will be recorded in data abstraction if they are reported. Settings Include: I. Studies measuring physiologic compromise in the field/out of hospital II. Studies of initial ED measurement as indirect evidence only if out of hospital evidence is not available and the measure is deemed clinically relevant III. Studies conducted in civilian or military settings Exclude: Study Designs Include: I. Any study that assesses the predictive utility of included measures either individually or that compares two or more measures. Designs may include trials and prospective and retrospective observational studies a. Systematic reviews Exclude: I. Nonsystematic reviews, commentaries, and letters II. Descriptions of the properties or performance of measures that do not include predictive utility Sharon B. Arnold, Acting Director.
