Opportunities and Limitations of Swiss Polytrauma Registry Data for Scientific Purposes- Registry Data for Scientific Purposes

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.

Treatment and study plan

retrospective analysis of the Swiss Trauma Registry data

Other

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

Primary outcomes

  1. analysis of data completeness

    Time frame: single time point assessment at baseline

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).

  2. rate of 28 day survival

    Time frame: single time point assessment at baseline

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

  3. length of hospital stay

    Time frame: single time point assessment at baseline

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

  4. rate of patients receiving intensive care treatment

    Time frame: single time point assessment at baseline

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

  5. rate of patients returning to the previous living situation

    Time frame: single time point assessment at baseline

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

Secondary outcomes

  1. cost of maintenance of the register
