Abstract
- Interhospital transfer patients experience increased mortality compared to patients that present directly to the same hospital.
- Transport data in combination with APACHE data does not increase post-transport mortality prognostication.
- Patients transferred from sending hospital ICUs experience higher mortality rates.
- Patients transferred via expedited helicopter transfer protocols (autolaunch) experience increased survival post-transfer.
- Future research should focus on pre-transport data.
