Description
Abstract Text
Little is known about the degree of disability, quality of life, and
psychological well-being after major trauma. This prospective cohort
study will determine the incidence and determinants of functional
limitation after major trauma. Using the computerized San Diego County
Regional Trauma System Registry (TREG) trauma patient data base (Appendix
I), we propose to determine the incidence and predictors of functional
limitation after major trauma in approximately 1200 men and women
admitted prospectively to the University of California San Diego (UCSD)
Trauma Center.
Functional limitation after major trauma will be measured using the
Quality of Well-being (QWB) scale at four time points; at discharge, and
6, 12, and 18 months after discharge.
Multiple putative predictors of functional limitation after major trauma
that will be determined include: (1) injury severity and body area(s)
injured, (2) clinical course and treatment of the trauma, (3)
sociodemographic characteristics, (4) social support and (5) post-injury
psychological sequelae including depression and post-traumatic stress
disorder.
The prospective epidemiologic study will allow us to determine not only
the incidence of functional limitation after major trauma but also the
strength and independence of individual predictors of functional
limitation. In addition we will be able to determine whether any
combination(s) of patient attributes identifies those ag greatest risk
so that these patients can be targeted for appropriate intervention.
This information will help facilitate appropriate interventions for
trauma patients dependent on their predictors of functional limitation.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
