About this study

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.

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

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 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).

    Measured: single time point assessment at baseline

  2. rate of 28 day survival

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

    Measured: single time point assessment at baseline

  3. length of hospital stay

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

    Measured: single time point assessment at baseline

  4. rate of patients receiving intensive care treatment

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

    Measured: single time point assessment at baseline

  5. rate of patients returning to the previous living situation

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

    Measured: single time point assessment at baseline

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. cost of maintenance of the register

    analysis of how many pro-rata salary per cent annually are specifically invested in the maintenance of the register

    Measured: single time point assessment at baseline
