Review article: Best practice management of low back pain in the emergency department (part 1 of the musculoskeletal injuries rapid review series)
Abstract
Low back pain (LBP) is a common presentation to the ED, and a frequent cause of disability globally. The ED management is often associated with high rates of imaging, misuse and overuse of pharmacology and subsequent financial implications. Given this, improved quality of care for patients with LBP in ED is essential. This rapid review investigated best practice for the assessment and management of LBP in the ED. PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, TRIP and the grey literature, including relevant organisational websites, were searched in 2015. Primary studies, systematic reviews and guidelines were considered for inclusion. E...

Modification of the Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction risk score for patients presenting with chest pain to the emergency department
ConclusionsAttempts to modify the TIMI score yielded two scores with added predictive utility in comparison to the original TIMI model. The addition of GRACE variables (g‐TIMI) increased sensitivity for MACE, but decreased the specificity of the model. The s‐TIMI score yielded good specificity but had sensitivity that would not be acceptable by emergency physicians. The s‐TIMI may be useful as part of an accelerated chest pain protocol.

Major haemorrhage fatalities in the Australian national coronial database
ConclusionsMajor bleeding fatalities occurred across a diverse range of contexts, with trauma and gastrointestinal bleeding accounting for most deaths. The majority of patients did not survive to reach hospital. Major haemorrhage occurring entirely outside hospital may be underrecognised from analyses of datasets based primarily on traumatic or in‐hospital bleeding. These findings have implications for management of pre‐hospital resuscitation and development of clinical practice guidelines for identification and management of major bleeding in the community.
