Beyond access: reframing clinical uncertainty in trauma systems

Year: 2026

Type: editorial

Abstract: Clinical uncertainty is intrinsic to high-stakes, time-pressured decision-making like trauma care. In this context, clinical practice guidelines aim to reduce variability in care and support evidence-informed decision-making. Yet, the existence of guidance alone does not ensure its effective use. Srinath and colleagues provide valuable insight into this gap by examining how trauma providers in Peru experience and navigate clinical uncertainty in real-world practice settings.1
