University Teaching Trauma Centers: Decreased Mortality but Increased Complications (original) (raw)
Journal of Surgical Research
AI-generated Abstract
This study compares in-hospital outcomes between university teaching trauma centers (UTTCs) and non-teaching trauma centers (NTTCs) by analyzing data from 895,896 patients. Findings indicate that while UTTCs are associated with decreased mortality (OR 0.96, CI 0.93-0.99), they show increased risks for respiratory complications (RCs) (OR 1.33), venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) (OR 1.17), and infectious complications (ICs) (OR 1.56). The results highlight the complexity of outcomes associated with teaching hospitals, emphasizing the need for further research to understand the factors contributing to these disparities.
