Cover Story: Sex disparities in access and quality of care are well known throughout the whole continuum of care, from prehospital procedures to specialized inpatient treatments, yet they have not been extensively studied in the context of polytrauma patients and emergency care. The literature states that females are often less likely to be investigated and treated rapidly than males, thus impacting their morbidity and mortality. In the polytraumatized patients’ population, rapid identification and management of life-threatening injuries is essential. Our study compared delays of completion of multiple life-saving interventions between females and males among severely injured patients to add data to the gap in the literature and shed light on sex disparities in the emergency care of severely injured patients.
