Abstract
The study by Hsiao et al1 concludes ‘No differences in outcome were found between patients with isolated severe TBI [traumatic brain injury] who were directly transported and those transferred (from other hospitals)’. The study reveals major differences from UK practice that should be considered. https://emj.bmj.com/content/29/6/516.1 This is an Open Access article distributed in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribution Non Commercial (CC BY-NC 4.0) license, which permits others to distribute, remix, adapt, build upon this work non-commercially, and license their derivative works on different terms, provided the original work is properly cited and the use is non-commercial. http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/ DOI http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/emermed-2012-201151
