Physicians commonly ignore hypothermia, an often-underappreciated event associated with mortality in trauma patients, in general due to its prevalence and belief that it is secondary to the injury itself (secondary hypothermia). Over the past several decades, hypothermia in trauma has been studied concerning its effects on mortality; however, very little has been done to identify the major risk factors associated with it. The study by Lapostolle and colleagues has attempted to incorporate environmental risk factors and prehospital care along with more traditional variables for the prediction of hypothermia at admission.
医生通常会忽略体温过低这一情况，这是一种在创伤患者中常常未得到充分重视且与死亡率相关的现象，一般是由于其普遍性以及认为它是损伤本身所致（继发性体温过低）。在过去几十年里，人们对创伤患者体温过低的情况进行了研究，探讨其对死亡率的影响；然而，在确定与之相关的主要风险因素方面却做得很少。拉波斯托尔及其同事的研究试图将环境风险因素、院前护理以及更传统的变量纳入其中，以预测入院时的体温过低情况。
