Current Trauma Reports

期刊简介：Aims: The goal of this journal is to provide concentrated, evidence-based information in the field of trauma through authoritative reviews. It has become almost impossible for the average physician to keep up with the flood of information that is published in numerous medical journals or the internet. Original articles, although often important or even ground-breaking, have typically a narrow focus and on occasions lack scientific rigor. Whereas physicians are encouraged to spend the necessary time reviewing critically the methodology and results of an original article, their fast-paced professional lives allow limited opportunities to do so. Therefore, the need for thoughtful, well-constructed, and comprehensive reviews has increased in our times more than ever before. Our new journal intends to do what the average reader cannot afford doing. It intends to summarize the pertinent information, exclude the irrelevant details, and offer thorough, clinically-focused reviews. We have summoned true experts from around the world to contribute these reviews, based on their detailed analysis of the literature and rich personal experience. We hope that this information will be readily useable and help shape the practice of those who read it. Scope: Our journal is about trauma. It will include every possible blunt or penetrating traumatic injury in any part of the body. It will describe diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, operative and non-operative alike. It will present treatment algorithms and caution about pitfalls and complications. It will compare outcomes, as shown in the literature, and make evidence-based recommendations about preferred pathways. Besides the strict focus on traumatic diseases and their treatment, it will also expand on broader issues related to injury prevention and rehabilitation. All in all, we expect that the scope of the journal will cover everything that has to do with trauma.

【译文】目标：本期刊旨在通过权威综述，在创伤领域提供集中、基于证据的信息。对于普通医生来说，跟上众多医学期刊或互联网上发布的信息洪流几乎是不可能的。虽然原创文章通常很重要，甚至是划时代的，但它们通常具有狭窄的焦点，有时缺乏科学严谨性。虽然鼓励医生花时间批判性地审查原创文章的方法和结果，但他们的快节奏职业生活使得这样做的机会有限。因此，在当今时代，对深思熟虑、结构良好和全面综述的需求比以往任何时候都更加迫切。我们新的期刊打算做的是普通读者负担不起的事情。它打算总结相关信息，排除无关细节，并提供全面、以临床为重点的综述。我们已经召集了来自世界各地的真正专家来撰写这些综述，这些综述基于他们对文献的详细分析和丰富的个人经验。我们希望这些信息将易于使用，并有助于塑造阅读者的实践。
