Summary:The study highlights important differences in triage patterns and outcomes based on the mode of entry into the healthcare system ( General Practitioner/Health Care Provider vs. 112 call). The authors acknowledge this limitation, but it would be beneficial to elaborate on how the lack of key clinical variables such as Glasgow Coma Scale scores, blood pressure, and injury severity scores affects the interpretation of their results, particularly regarding mortality comparisons [2]. [...]Seidenfaden et al. have made a significant contribution to our understanding of TBI patient characteristics, triage patterns, and outcomes in a Scandinavian healthcare system.
