Pre-hospital critical care (PHCC) has been associated with improvements in mortality following major trauma. However, it is not known to what extent PHCC, with the ability to deliver early advanced interventions, changes outcomes following moderate-to-severe head injury, and the question has been identified as among the most important for research in the field.1–3 In the UK, PHCC interventions include anaesthesia, sedation, advanced cardiovascular management and complex invasive interventions, not available in conventional ambulance response.4 This study aimed to assess the association between PHCC and long-term morbidity and mortality outcomes.
