Abstract

The data of 1037 severely injured patients (mean ISS = 20) from 15 clinics were centrally and prospectively collected in the Trauma Registry of the German Society of Trauma Surgery and analyzed anonymously. Significant differences in respect to the treatment criteria (i.e., duration of basic diagnostics in severe trauma) and quality of outcome (TRISS method and Z statistic) were revealed for some clinics. The feedback of their data offers the associated clinics the possibility of identification of treatment phases that are worth being optimized.
