Brief Summary

The aim of the analysis is an evaluation of the current performance of the Swiss Trauma Registry (STR) with respect to providing a reliable basis for (scientific) investigations on the management of trauma patients in Switzerland. The current project tries to address this question by considering central aspects of completeness and by exemplifying the use of the registry for research questions. The aim is to identify potential shortcomings of the registry.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• analysis of data completeness

  The STR comprises patient data starting from preclinical management, resuscitation, hospitalization and discharge data as well as data considering 28-day mortality, long-term outcome and cost. The founders agreed on a total of 98 items for analyses. All data sets will be evaluated for completeness of the 98 data points (items).

  single time point assessment at baseline

• rate of 28 day survival

  analysis of patient outcome: rate of patients' 28 day survival

  single time point assessment at baseline

• length of hospital stay

  analysis of patient outcome: length of hospital stay (days)

  single time point assessment at baseline

• rate of patients receiving intensive care treatment

  analysis of patient outcome: rate of patients receiving intensive care treatment

  single time point assessment at baseline

• rate of patients returning to the previous living situation

  analysis of patient outcome: rate of patients returning to the previous living situation

  single time point assessment at baseline

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• cost of maintenance of the register

  single time point assessment at baseline

Interventions

retrospective analysis of the Swiss Trauma Registry data OTHER

retrospective analysis of protectively documented registry data based on data completeness, patient outcomes, patient characteristics

Eligibility Criteria
