What is Mortality Risk in Stable Patients With Penetrating Abdominal Trauma: Critical Timing Considerations about?

This study evaluates the impact of timing on mortality risk in stable patients with penetrating abdominal trauma (PAT) who underwent surgery. It finds that delayed surgery did not correlate with increased mortality, but prolonged emergency medical service and emergency department times, along with the presence of hollow viscus injury, were significant risk factors for mortality. The research emphasizes the need for optimizing workflows in emergency settings to improve patient outcomes.
