Complete, patients for whom respiratory rate, pulse, and systolic blood pressure were documented in EMS run sheets; Incomplete, patients who were missing at least one the following: scene pulse, scene systolic blood pressure, scene respiratory rate.

†

adjusted for maximum anatomic injury score, injury severity score, age, gender, mechanism of injury, endotracheal intubation, injury year, Glasgow coma scale, and emergency department physiology (i.e. pulse, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate)
