Challenge Event 1
Secondary Triage
Data Competition
In Phase 1, teams were provided real-world trauma center datasets containing thousands of cases with >500 variables. These data were collected from pre-hospital (medevac, ambulance) until 4 hours after hospital admission. Teams developed algorithms to predict the need for life-saving interventions during this time. Watch the recap video below and the Awards Ceremony for team performance and analysis.
In Phase 2, the data size will significantly increase in size. Additional data types will add to the training data’s complexity.

Event Recap
Life Saving Interventions (LSI) Definition
Definition: a medical care resource, activity, or procedure used to sustain life.
LSIs have been grouped by type of injury and/or mechanism of treatment:
| LSI Group | Specific treatment |
|---|---|
| Airway & Respiration | Intubation, Cricothyroidotomy, Laryngoscopy, Mechanic Ventilation |
| Vascular Access & Monitoring | Peripheral IV, Central Line Maintenance, Arterial Line Maintenance |
| Bleeding Control | Tourniquet, Pelvic Binder |
| Vaso/Cardioactive Medications | Epinephrine, Dopamine, Phenylephrine, Vasopressin, Hydrocortisone |
| Crystalloid Products | Normal Saline (>500cc), Lactated Ringers (>500cc) |
| Blood Products | Packed Red Blood Cells, Plasma, Whole Blood Transfusion |
| Cardiovascular Procedures | CPR, Defibrillation/Cardioversion, Pericardiocentesis |
| Chest Decompression | Needle Decompression, Chest Tube Management |
| Neurologic Products & Procedures | Craniotomy/Craniectomy, Hypertonic Saline, Antiepileptic Medications |
| RSI Sedation Medications | Ketamine, Versed, Etomidate, Ativan, Propofol |
| Limb Salvage | Amputation, Fasciotomy |
| Damage Control Procedures | Thoracotomy, Exploratory Laparotomy, IR Embolization |
Evaluation Criteria
Performance measured for each case using two metrics:
- Jaccard Index: How accurate were the predictions?
- Prediction Lead Time: How early were the correct prediction?
