Effect of trauma life support training on patient outcomes: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Trauma causes significant global burden of disease. Trauma life support training programmes aim to improve early trauma care, but little is known about their effects on patient outcomes.

Methods

We conducted a systematic review using keywords and medical subject headings (MeSH-terms) related to trauma life support training in seven online databases: Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Web of Science, Global Health, CINAHL and Google Scholar. The reference lists of included articles were also searched for relevant studies. Published studies that compared patient outcomes between providers trained in any trauma life support training programme with those trained in another training programme or those not trained were included. We appraised the quality of the included studies
