Background Rib fractures are one of the most common traumatic injuries and may result in
significant morbidity and mortality. Despite growing evidence, technological advances and …

Background Over the last 10 years, research has highlighted emerging potential risk factors
for poor outcomes following blunt chest wall trauma. The aim was to update a previous …

Objectives: To investigate the impact of deep learning (DL) on radiologists' detection
accuracy and reading efficiency of rib fractures on CT. Methods: Blunt chest trauma patients …

Objectives To evaluate deep neural networks for automatic rib fracture detection on thoracic
CT scans and to compare its performance with that of attending-level radiologists using a …

As global populations age, those who provide frontline care will continue to see a rapid
increase in the number of geriatric trauma patients. Data from North America show that …

BACKGROUND Although much is published reporting clinical outcomes in the patients with
blunt chest wall trauma who are admitted to hospital from the ED, less is known about the …

Purpose Thoracic trauma accounts for 25–50% of posttraumatic mortality. Data on
epidemiology of thoracic trauma in Scandinavia and risk factors for mortality are scarce. This …

Background: Traumatic rib fracture is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Recent
studies highlight the inadequacy of age and the number of rib fractures (NRFs) to assess …
