Abstract

BACKGROUND: Rapid access to a trauma centre for severely injured road accident victims, conceptualised as the Golden Hour, links access time to definitive treatment within 1 hour of trauma with reduced risks of morbidity and mortality. Access times have not been studied in Switzerland. The aim of this work was to model the transport time by ambulance of seriously injured road traffic accident victims to one of the 12 trauma centres in Switzerland and to investigate whether this time influenced mortality.
