Pre- and postinjury financial hardship among trauma survivors: a national survey study.
The purpose of this study was to investigate financial hardship before and after injury among trauma survivors using national data. Researchers analyzed the 2014-2021 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, comparing injured adults (18-64 years old) to matched uninjured controls. The study included a weighted sample representing over 79 million injured patients. Results showed that injured patients experienced an 8.2 percentage point increase in financial hardship (a 23% relative increase), with 40.6% reporting financial hardship post-injury. These patients also experienced a 4.5 percentage point increase in poor health status. Further analysis revealed that injured patients who reported difficulty with medical bills were more likely to delay care due to costs, and those who delayed care were more likely to report poor health outcomes.

A scoping review of trauma-informed language in the care of injured patients.
This scoping review evaluated the literature on the education, guidance, and outcomes associated with trauma-informed language (TIL) use with traumatically injured patients including gunshot or other violent injuries. Although there were 2401 total studies reviewed, only 20 were selected for full-text review and of those only three fit the inclusion criteria for this study. The studies showed that TIL is rarely utilized when managing injured patients, which can lead to communication challenges between trauma patients and providers. TIL can improve communication skills leading to patient satisfaction and mitigating post-traumatic symptoms in patients and physicians.

Validity evidence of a resuscitation team leadership assessment measure for use in actual trauma resuscitations.
The authors constructed a 12-item behaviorally anchored rating scale (BARS) to measure trauma resuscitation team leadership in clinical settings. The team leadership BARS and a previously studied checklist-based team leadership measure produced convergent assessments of behavior; higher overall ratings on the BARS also correlated with better patient care delivery at the team level.

Variation in use of neuroimaging in the care of infants undergoing subspecialty evaluations for abuse: a multicenter study.
The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to quantify hospital-level differences in the utilization of neuroimaging to evaluate for intracranial injury in infants undergoing subspecialty evaluations for physical abuse who did not show symptoms of head trauma. Variations were not linked to race/ethnicity or insurance type but were associated with younger age, rib fractures, and hospital practices, suggesting a need for standardized care guidelines.
