  1. 30-day mortality (primary outcome) for the primary and secondary analyses presented as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals adjusted for sex, age, ISS, SBP and GCS before intubation. In the secondary analysis we excluded patients if both ketamine and propofol had been used within approximately 15 min prior to emergency intubation, and it was unclear which one had been used as induction agent
  2. GCS Glasgow Coma Scale, ISS Injury Severity Score, SBP Systolic Blood Pressure
