abstract="OBJECTIVETo analyze if pre-hospital rescue times were associated with mortality in a trauma cohort arriving by ambulance to hospital in a Scandinavian urban setting.<br><br>METHODSBetween 2011 and 2013, individuals and pre-hospital rescue times were identified in Emergency Medical Dispatcher Centre, hospital, and forensic records in red alarm trauma. Major trauma was defined as a New Injury Severity Score (NISS)>15.<br><br>RESULTSOverall, 89% of 378 trauma patients received hospital care within 60?min; 51% had a response time of ≤8?min, and 95% had response time within ≤20?min. The on-scene time (p??15 were found to have the same pre-hospital rescue times as those with NISS?≤?15. There was a trend that the occurrence of gunshots was associated with increased mortality (p?=?0.074). When entering age, NISS, penetrating versus blunt injury, response time, and on-scene time in a multivariate regression analysis, age (p?<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
