  1. The reference set was the group of patients admitted to the emergency department during the first academic quartile (in Japan, April–June)
  2. CI confidence interval, OR odds ratio
  3. aIn Japan, the academic cycle typically begins on 1 April each year. The first academic quartile therefore corresponds to April to June
  4. bAdjustment for the potential confounders of age, sex, injury severity score, Glasgow coma scale score, systolic blood pressure, trauma etiology (blunt or penetrating), and admission phase (2002–2005, 2006–2009, 2010–2013, and 2014–2018)
