By 2035, fully autonomous vehicles could reduce US road traffic injuries by up to 3.6% if they reach 10% adoption and achieve 80% lower injury risk vs traditional vehicles.

ALT Line graphs forecast US road collision injuries from 2025-2035 under AV adoption scenarios (1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%). Each graph plots injuries (millions) against time for 50% RRR, 80% RRR, and baseline scenarios, showing a slight upward trend overall.

Congrats to @The_BMC trauma surgeon @Dane_Scantling on his NIMHD K08: Improving access to trauma care for victims of firearm violence. Geospatial technology will identify non-trauma center hospitals & examine potential impact of conversion to a trauma center in # of lives saved.

Recently in @TheJNS, @jiaqi_liu_+ used the @AmCollSurgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program and identified 2012 patients with firearm-related penetrating brain injury
They found evidence that earlier pharmacological prophylaxis may be associated with decreased odds of #VTE!

In this work, @VikasVattipally+ assessed 122 patients >=75 years of age who experienced a fall leading to TBI
Demographic factors such as sex and race were associated with differences in patterns of delivered hospital care before palliative care consultation

Kicking off the new year with a publication by @JohnsHopkinsSPH @HopkinsJSCOR alum Harry Newman-Plotnick in @JTraumAcuteSurg. @CaitlinWHicks @DctrJByrne
"Incarceration is associated with higher mortality after trauma: An unreported health care disparity"

In @NeurocritCareJ,Carlos Aude+ describes disparities in palliative care consultation timing for #TBI patients, which are primarily driven by demographical factors rather than injury type
This information can be used to ensure timely access to #palliativecare for TBI patients!

Sam Okum did an amazing job presenting his TWO posters at #aast2024. Impressive job by a medical student from @HopkinsMedicine. Thanks to @JosephSakran @DctrJByrne for the #SurgMentoring
Congratulations to @VikasVattipally on a phenomenal presentation at #AAST2024. Outstanding work by a 3rd year medical student interested in Neurosurgery. Super proud.
Trauma center variation in operative neurosurgery for traumatic SDH is associated with patient outcomes.
