Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In this study, the investigator aimed to analyze the demographic characteristics, patterns of injury and mortality after free fall in a Taiwan level one trauma center.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Falls from height is the leading cause of accidental deaths. The mechanism of free-fall injury is abrupt vertical deceleration and the severity is dependent on the height, body weight, posture and contact area…etc. Most victims presented to emergency department with major trauma, so initial evaluation and timely management are crucial for the survival. The knowledge of unique pattern of injuries helps clinicians to facilitate the diagnosis. In this study, the investigator aimed to analyze the demographic characteristics, patterns of injury and mortality after free fall in a Taiwan level one trauma center.
