Statistical tests: 1—Fisher’s exact test; 2—Pearson’s χ2 test; 3—Student's t-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.
