Description
Summary:•Interhospital transfer patients experience increased mortality compared to patients that present directly to the same hospital.•Transport data in combination with APACHE data does not increase post-transport mortality prognostication.•Patients transferred from sending hospital ICUs experience higher mortality rates.•Patients transferred via expedited helicopter transfer protocols (autolaunch) experience increased survival post-transfer.•Future research should focus on pre-transport data.
