Site was included in the model as a fixed effects term to account for clustering.

The polytomous time variable is presented for clarity and detail across segments of time. We used multiple imputation for the following variables (counts): age (1), ISS (31), heart rate (4), and GCS (1). Partial Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) data were available for all patients missing ISS score. Age modeled as spline with one knot specified at 45 years.
