Tim Nutbeam: Women With Major Trauma Receive Less Care
Tim Nutbeam, Consultant in Emergency Medicine at University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust, shared a post on LinkedIn:
”Women with major trauma receive less care.
They are less likely to receive blood products.
Less likely to receive tranexamic acid.
Less likely to be taken to a trauma centre.
Less likely to be admitted to intensive care.
And they experience worse long-term outcomes – including higher rates of disability and poorer functional recovery.
We now have a clearer picture of why that matters.
Working with an excellent team including long term collaborator François-Xavier AGERON – proud to present this large international scoping review; looking across the trauma pathway, from prehospital care through to hospital treatment.
The signal is consistent and these differences are not fully explained by mechanism or severity.
They appear to be features of the system.
Not biology. Not evidence. The system.
This is difficult work.
Not because the data are unclear – but because the implications are.
The question now is not whether inequity exists.
It’s what we do about it.”
