N1 - Funding Information: We also agree with the authors in advocating for collection of measures of function and quality of life after trauma. For many injured patients, including older adults, mortality is a relatively crude outcome that fails to capture important granularity about the effect of trauma among survivors. The American College of Surgeons sponsored a recent conference to explore the use of patient-reported outcome measures in US trauma registries, where experts discussed available measures, optimal target populations, timing, and feasibility. This work is continuing as part of a grant to develop a National Trauma Research Action Plan in the United States (US Department of Defense contract W81XWH-18-CO179).
