Highlights
Injury is a significant cause of death and disability worldwide.[1]
A total of 961 individuals with orthopaedic injury were included in the orthopaedic trauma registry from January 1 2017 to October 31 2018
While one purpose of this evaluation was to examine patient and injury characteristics of individuals included in the orthopaedic trauma registry, we found a relatively high level of data errors based on internal consistency and had a high level of missingness on type of operative management
Summary
Injury is a significant cause of death and disability worldwide.[1] Improving the organisation and planning for trauma care can affordably and sustainably lower trauma mortality rates in countries at any economic level.[2] A key tool for accomplishing this is a trauma registry, which is defined as "a disease-specific collection composed of a file of uniform data elements that describe the injury event, demographics, pre-hospital information, diagnosis, care, outcomes, and cost of treatment for injured patients”.3. Trauma registries can be used in quality improvement initiatives, trauma severity scoring, injury prevention projects, planning resource allocation, and tracking performance in trauma care over time.[4] In high-income countries, the implementation of trauma registries has led to the reorganisation of trauma care into regional systems and has been associated with decreased mortality due to injuries.[5,6,7].
