Statistical tests: 1—analysis of variance, 2—Fisher’s exact test, 3—Kruskal-Wallis test.
Adherence column results represented by absolute number and mean in parentheses. Except for % adhesion. Per cent adhesion means average number of steps performed during primary survey.
Outcome column results represented by mean and SD.
ABCDE, trauma steps assessment (table 1); LOS, length of staying; MV, mechanical ventilation; PICU, pediatric intensive care unit.
