Intentionally self-injured patients have lower mortality when treated at trauma centers versus non-trauma centers in South Korea by Jin Woo, Han Zo Choi, Jongkyeong Kang

“…Patients treated at TCs exhibited a higher overall survival rate than those treated at non-TCs (76.1% vs 66.9%; p&lt;0.001), and multiple variable logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the causes of injury and transport to the TC were significantly associated.Conclusion Using Korean EMS data, the results of this study revealed that initial transport to TCs was associated with reduced mortality rates. However, considering the limitations of using data from only 2 years and the retrospective design, further research is warranted.Study type Retrospective national, population-based observational case-control study.Level of evidence Level III…”
