TL;DR
Participation in an injury education program involving real-life trauma scenarios was associated with a reduced subsequent risk of committing violence- or traffic-related offences, injuries, and death for juvenille justice offenders.

A predictive model of the incidence of long-term disability following traumatic brain injury (TBI) is developed and validated and the need for comprehensive rehabilitative care and services to maximize the potential of persons with TBI is validated.

Journal of NeurotraumaObserved versus Predicted Outcome for Decompressive Craniectomy: A Population-Based Study
84 Citations2010Stephen Honeybul, Kwok M. Ho +2 more
It is demonstrated that in Western Australia decompressive craniectomy is a relatively common surgical procedure for the management of neurotrauma and a significant proportion of patients had a better-than-predicted long-term functional outcome.
Traffic Injury PreventionPreventing Alcohol-Related Traffic Injury: A Health Promotion Approach
62 Citations2004Peter Howat, David A. Sleet +2 more
This review draws on data from a range of settings to characterize the effectiveness of various interventions embedded within the health promotion approach, finding ecological approaches to reducing alcohol-impaireddriving prevention programs are likely to be the most effective.
Journal of NeurotraumaThe Retrospective Application of a Prediction Model to Patients Who Have Had a Decompressive Craniectomy for Trauma
60 Citations2009Stephen Honeybul, Kwok M. Ho +3 more
This study demonstrated that the ability to predict poor outcome has improved, and the CRASH model reliably predicted unfavorable outcome in a cohort of patients who had a decompressive craniectomy in 2006 and 2007.

British Journal of AnaesthesiaUse of L’Abbé and pooled calibration plots to assess the relationship between severity of illness and effectiveness in studies of corticosteroids for severe sepsis
18 Citations2011Kwok M. Ho, J.A. Tan
The pooled calibration plot suggested that there were excessive deaths in the placebo groups of some RCTs that could explain the apparent benefit of corticosteroids on mortality of patients with severe sepsis.
Addictive BehaviorsThe relationship between risky alcohol consumption, crime and traffic accidents in Australian rural communities
18 Citations2009Dennis Petrie, Christopher M. Doran +2 more
Rural communities in Australia are experiencing a sizeable amount of potentially avoidable harm due to risky alcohol use, and reducing the population levels of those drinking at risk of acute harm or improving the settings in which drinking takes place may have benefits for these communities, especially in terms of crime and traffic accidents.
