Topic overview
It is well documented that houseless patients tend to have worse medical outcomes; however, the interaction between housing status and traumatic injury, particularly in pediatric patients, is not well-understood. In this study we sought to identify if houseless patients have greater morbidity and mortality after trauma utilizing the years 2022-2023 of the Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) database.
