This example Unpredictable, Unpreventable and Impersonal Medicine 31 highlights two things. First, the performance of limb amputations after earthquakes has, up until now, been a largely subjective decision. Second, objective measures and tools are needed to guide decision making, such as outcome prediction models, but there is a lack of evidence regarding such tools in the earthquake context. In this example, we argue that a first step would be a systematic review to identify existing tools to grade the severity and predict outcomes of crushinjured limbs.

Recent reports confirm the advantage of trauma and stroke centers for patient outcomes. Regarding trauma centers, a recent study considered over 6,000 severely injured motor vehicle accident victims who were initially taken either to a trauma center or to a nontrauma center (and transferred to a trauma center with 24 h for more definitive care) [17].
