original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
PAin SoluTions In the Emergency Setting (PASTIES)—patient controlled analgesia versus routine care in emergency department patients with pain from traumatic injuries: randomised trial
BMJ. 2015 Jun 21;350:h2988221 patients admitted to the emergency department for traumatic injuries resulting in moderate to severe pain were randomized to received either patient controlled analgesia (PCA) or standard treatment of nurse-titrated analgesia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether PCA is more effective in mitigating pain in patients with traumatic injuries compared to standard treatment. Pain scores were assessed every hour for a total of 12 hours after first analgesia administration, including that in the emergency department and after admission to a hospital ward. Findings demonstrated no statistically significant differences in total pain over the 12 hour study period between patients who were treated with PCA compared to those who were treated via routine care practices.
