Factors related to early and rapid assessment of in-hospital mortality among older adult trauma patients in an earthquake.
Article in World journal of emergency medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThere is limited evidence for emergency physicians and emergency trauma surgeons regarding the determinants of early and rapid assessment of older adult in-hospital mortality due to earthquakes. This study explored factors related to the early and rapid assessment of the mortality among older adult earthquake trauma patients (OAETPs) and created a screening model.
methodsData on 7,308 OAETPs from the West China Earthquake Patients Database were analyzed retrospectively. The 35 variables that can be obtained rapidly on arrival at the hospital were collected. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression analysis was performed. Then, the nomogram for assessing the mortality of OAETPs was constructed.
resultsWe identified 10 independent mortality-related factors that contributed to the in-hospital mortality of OAETPs. The 10 factors included age (odds ratio [OR]=1.061, 95% confidence interval [CI]:1.031-1.090), dementia (OR=5.146, 95%CI: 1.169-17.856), coronary heart disease (CHD; OR=23.441, 95%CI: 4.799-83.927), malignant tumor (OR=8.497, 95%CI: 3.583-17.967), deep vein thrombosis (DVT; OR=7.110, 95%CI: 1.369-27.168), chronic kidney disease(CKD; OR=11.783, 95%CI: 5.419-24.407), pulse rate (PR; OR=1.036, 95%CI: 1.022-1.048), mean artery pressure (MAP; OR=0.960, 95%CI: 0.945-0.975), Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS; OR=0.864, 95%CI: 0.760-0.972), and Triage Revised Trauma Score (T-RTS, OR=0.485, 95%CI: 0.351-0.696).
conclusionThe 10 mortality-related factors could be quickly obtained on hospital arrival and should be the focal point of future earthquake response strategies regarding hospitalized older adults with trauma. A nomogram was constructed based on the factors for screening OAETPs with a higher risk of in-hospital mortality.
