By 2035, fully autonomous vehicles could reduce US road traffic injuries by up to 3.6% if they reach 10% adoption and achieve 80% lower injury risk vs traditional vehicles. ja.ma/3Ldqi2q
Line graphs forecast US road collision injuries from 2025-2035 under AV adoption scenarios (1%, 2.5%, 5%, 10%). Each graph plots injuries (millions) against time for 50% RRR, 80% RRR, and baseline scenarios, showing a slight upward trend overall.

Congrats to @The_BMC trauma surgeon @Dane_Scantling on his NIMHD K08: Improving access to trauma care for victims of firearm violence. Geospatial technology will identify non-trauma center hospitals & examine potential impact of conversion to a trauma center in # of lives saved.

Recently in @TheJNS, @jiaqi_liu_ used the @AmCollSurgeons Trauma Quality Improvement Program and identified 2012 patients with firearm-related penetrating brain injury They found evidence that earlier pharmacological prophylaxis may be associated with decreased odds of #VTE!

In this work, @VikasVattipally assessed 122 patients >=75 years of age who experienced a fall leading to TBI Demographic factors such as sex and race were associated with differences in patterns of delivered hospital care before palliative care consultation @NeurocritCareJ

In @NeurocritCareJ,Carlos Aude describes disparities in palliative care consultation timing for #TBI patients, which are primarily driven by demographical factors rather than injury type This information can be used to ensure timely access to #palliativecare for TBI patients!

Congratulations to @VikasVattipally on a phenomenal presentation at #AAST2024. Outstanding work by a 3rd year medical student interested in Neurosurgery. Super proud. Trauma center variation in operative neurosurgery for traumatic SDH is associated with patient outcomes.
