| The American College of Surgeons, Committe on Trauma (COT) has a yearly paper competition. Joe Sakran was the primary investigator of a study entitled "The Utility of Procalcitonin in Critically Ill Trauma Patients", which was the first study in the United States evaluating the following in critically ill trauma patients : 1. The natural history of procalcitonin post-injury, 2. If procalcitonin can be used as a predictor of sepsis, 3. The association of procalcitonin with mortality. This study took first place in the District of Columbia COT competition for the clinical investigation category on November 4, 2011. Winning the state competition resulted in subsequent presentation at the Region III COT competition, at the Medical College of Virginia on December 3, 2011 where we came in second place. The study has been selected for presentation at the Raymond Alexander, MD paper competition at the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma annual meeting in January of 2012 in Disneyland. |
