Advances in Trauma Pathophysiology
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Trauma is a public health epidemic. It is the leading cause of death in people aged 1 to 44 and is the sixth leading cause of death worldwide. It is estimated that one person in the world dies every five seconds as a result of traumatic injury, accounting for more than 5.8 million victims a year or 10% of the world’s deaths – 32% more than malaria, tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS combined. Its incidence is growing worldwide, particularly in low- and middle-income areas. In this issue we want to offer a broad excursus on trauma, taking into account the spread of trauma education in the population, the training of specialists in trauma care, the current state of trauma researches with particular attention to new developments and results in knowledge of the pathophysiology of trauma and the new achievements in treatment.
The trauma system of a given region or country represents a local solution to a complex organizational problem, involving coordination of resources and services provided by many players, and is largely dependent on tradition rather than outcome driven data. Certain countries are more developed in delivering trauma care, as the burden of injury is often greater in low-and-middle income countries. These countries may have a lack of human and material resources, the absence of organized trauma systems and inadequate injury surveillance. While many improvements have been made in trauma care globally this past century, the work has yet to be completed. Discussing the advances in trauma pathology, research, training and the dissemination of trauma education is crucial to help build up improved trauma care globally. With technology and globalization, our world is getting smaller. Helping each other move forward together is key to success for improving trauma care globally.
