Race has not been found to be a predictor for transfer to a Level 1 trauma center. The retrospective case-control study by Koval et al found that African-American race, presence of medical comorbidity, medicaid insurance, and male gender are predictors for transfer of patients to a trauma center that have ISS scores less than 9. The article by Nathens et al found that lack of insurance was an independent predictor for transfer to a trauma center after adjusting for differences in injury severity. An injury severity score of 36 represents a patient that has sustained life-threatening polytrauma and should be transferred to a Level 1 trauma center.
