Weathering the storm: Predictors and resource burden of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity after severe traumatic brain injury
BACKGROUND: Reported incidence of paroxysmal sympathetic hyperactivity (PSH) after severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) approaches one-third, largely from cohorts that excluded early deaths. Predictors and resource consequences remain unc...

Wrong hospital, wrong outcome: Impact of care fragmentation following trauma laparotomy
BACKGROUND: Care fragmentation (CF), defined as readmission to a nonindex hospital, has been identified as a potential predictor of poor outcomes after traumatic injury. Trauma laparotomy (TL) is a common procedure with perioperative ris...

Opioid prescribing and hospital outcomes after trauma in patients with substance use disorder: An analysis of the michigan trauma quality improvement project
BACKGROUND: Trauma patients frequently have comorbid substance use disorders (SUD), which may complicate pain management and increase the risk of opioid-related adverse outcomes after discharge. We hypothesized that trauma patients with ...
