Figure 1 Traumatic brain injury patient access to trauma center (TC) and nontrauma center (NTC) from scene of injury. Division of the overall cohort into 3 distinct populations. The first population encompasses patients who were taken directly to a TC after injury. The second population comprises patients who were taken from the scene of injury to an NTC. A subset of the second population consists of patients transferred from an NTC to a TC.

Figure 2 Predictors of access to trauma center from transport and transfer. Forrest plot demonstrating results of logistic regression modeling with outcome being any access to a trauma center. The plot demonstrates the stepwise reduction in access with increasing age and changes in access patterns based on injury severity and mechanism. ISS, Injury Severity Score; MVC, motor vehicle collision; OR, odds ratio.

Figure 3 Predictors of transfer from nontrauma center to trauma center. Forrest plot demonstrating results of logistic regression modeling results for the outcome of transfer to a trauma center from a nontrauma center. This plot demonstrates the stepwise reduction in access with increasing age and the influence of severity, mechanism, and type of head injury on access. EDH, epidural hematoma; ISS, Injury Severity Score; MVC, motor vehicle collision; SAH, subarachnoid hemorrhage; SDH, subdural hematoma.
