Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with unfavourable outcome following stab wounds to the heart in order to improve selection of patients who may benefit from resuscitative effort. From February to March, variables were collected from medical records of patients sustaining cardiac trauma. The inclusion criterion was the presence of a penetrating cardiac injury confirmed intraoperatively. Ninety-eight patients were admitted with penetrating cardiac injury. The mortality rate was 60 %. Fifty-seven patients had unrecordable blood pressure at admission and emergency department thoracotomy was done in twelve patients. The AAST-OIS score was higher in non survivors group (4,21 vs 4,49). Multivariate analysis identified tamponade, associated injuries, right ventricular laceration as the most predictive variables for mortality. Stab wounds should be separated from gunshots wounds as the former mechanism has different pathophysiological issue. Patients arriving without signs of life may benefit from aggressive resuscitative efforts depending on transport time. Penetrating cardiac injuries are highly lethal condition. Cardiac tamponade, right ventricle lacerations and associated extra-cardiac injuries are independent risk factors of death.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 June 2020.
All research outputs
#3,611,504
of 22,842,950 outputs
Outputs from Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine
#346
of 1,258 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#64,081
of 395,190 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine
#5
of 24 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,842,950 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 84th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,258 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.2. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 72% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 395,190 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 83% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 24 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its contemporaries.
