Background
• Outcomes for time-sensitive medical conditions are dependent upon the existence of comprehensive systems of care
• Variability in outcomes has been demonstrated for a number of time-sensitive conditions including STEMI, cardiac arrest, and ischemic stroke

Background
• Trauma Care in the USVerification processDemonstrated survival benefitExplicit criteria required for:
– Structures (staffing, OR availability)– Processes (QI program, prehospital
notification)

Goals of the Investigation
• We sought to determine whether the probability of death or adverse clinical outcomes was higher among injured patients presenting at night or on the weekend.
![Page 7: Weekend & Night Outcomes in a Mature State Trauma System Brendan G. Carr, MD MS Department of Emergency Medicine Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee65503460f94bf62df/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Hypothesis
• We hypothesized that outcomes after trauma would be similar for patients presenting during nights or on the weekend.

Methods
• Retrospective cohort analysis• Five years of data (2004-2008)• Pennsylvania Statewide Trauma Registry
32 accredited trauma centersAdmitting diagnosis of injuryAge >18

Methods
• Main Outcomes: In-hospital mortality
• Secondary Outcomes: ICU length of stayHospital length of stayDelay of more than two hours to
laparotomy or craniotomy

Methods
• Exposure:Night presentation
– 11pm – 6:59am
Weekend presentation – 11pm Friday – 6:59am Monday– Saturday 12:01 am – Sunday 11:59pm

Methods - Power
• We calculated the detectable mortality difference given:
Known sample size2-tailed alpha of 0.05Power of 90%Effect size estimate (mortality
differences for night and weekend presentation based on pilot data)

Methods - Analysis
• Unadjusted Pearson’s chi-square, rank sum, T-test,
Logistic regression• Adjusted
Logistic regression Negative binomial regression (LOS)

Methods - Analysis
• Case Mix adjustmentModified Charlson
– 15 instead of 19 comorbid conditions
• Injury Severity adjustmentTRISS (Trauma – Injury Severity Score)
– Anatomic injury scoring system (ISS)– Physiological scoring system (Revised
Trauma Score)

Limitations
• Retrospective data• Single state analysis• Negative findings raise power concerns • Inadequate injury severity adjustment• Inadequate case mix adjustment• Exclusion of transfer patients
![Page 19: Weekend & Night Outcomes in a Mature State Trauma System Brendan G. Carr, MD MS Department of Emergency Medicine Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee65503460f94bf62df/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Conclusions
• Patients presenting at night are no more likely to die than patients presenting during the day
• Patients presenting on the weekend are less likely to die than patients presenting on weekdays
![Page 20: Weekend & Night Outcomes in a Mature State Trauma System Brendan G. Carr, MD MS Department of Emergency Medicine Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032805/56649ee65503460f94bf62df/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Implications
• Explicit staffing and resource requirements for unplanned critical illness protect against the “weekend effect”
• The impact of similar systems based interventions should be tested for other time-sensitive conditions
