Improvements in trauma survival in Leeds.

One hundred and eighty-six cases of major trauma (Injury Severity Score > 15) admitted to the two Leeds hospitals in 1988/89 were compared with 198 cases admitted in 1992/93 to ascertain if a system of trauma care which had evolved in the hospitals during this time had affected outcome of these patients. Injury severity score, age, and sex distribution were similar for the two groups. There were significantly fewer deaths in 1992/93, particularly in those patients with a score less than 41. It would appear that the emphasis, since 1988, on timely and definitive management of patients with major trauma has led to improved survival of the seriously injured in Leeds.

Estimating trauma centre workload.

To estimate the volume of major trauma seen in the UK in the light of the recent report from the Royal College of Surgeons of England, all publications relating to UK trauma practice published since the report were analysed. Major trauma represents one in every 1000 accident and emergency department attendances on average. Although this is less than in the USA, the severity of injury is at least equivalent to North American practice.

Ileocolic intussusception in large cell lymphoma of the terminal ileum. Report of a case.

A case of an adult patient with ileocolic intussusception secondary to a lymphoma of the terminal ileum is reported. On the computed tomograms, a target mass, with the outer rim representing the annular tumour of the terminal ileum and the eccentric rim of low attenuation representing the mesentery, is described. Ultrasound patterns are those of parallel hypoechoic areas separated by hyperechoic stripes seen on longitudinal sections, and of a rounded mass of low echogenicity, exhibiting two hyperechoic concentric ring-like areas within it, on transverse scans. The appearances of the barium examinations are also described. The English literature is reviewed.
