Demographic and encounter characteristics of the cohort (N = 249)
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| Age, y | 9 (4–12) |
| Male | 164 (65.9) |
| Weekday arrivals | 180 (72.3) |
| Day shift arrivals | 180 (72.3) |
| Bravo trauma activation | 247 (99.2) |
| Blunt injury | 238 (95.8) |
| ISS | 2 (2–5) |
| GCS | 15 (15–15) |
| ED LOS (mins) | 265 (202–344) |
Values are median (interquartile range) or n (%).
ED: emergency department; GCS: Glasgow Coma Scale; IQR: interquartile range; ISS: Injury Severity Score; LOS: length of stay.

Values are median (interquartile range) except for outcome characteristics (see the footnote for superscript ‘a’).
GCS: Glasgow Coma Scale; ISS: Injury Severity Score.
aStatistically significant at <.05.
bDue to the borderline significant P value obtained, we explored the ISS values for both groups (Supplementary Appendix 3). This revealed comparable distributions of ISS values for both groups but a higher density of lower ISS values in the partially connected group.
