Main outcome measures: The NSW Trauma Registry outcome measures included were overall hospital length of stay, length of stay in an intensive care unit and inhospital mortality. Results: There was a decreasing trend in severe trauma presentations in the age group 16–34 years, and an increasing trend in presentations of older people, particularly those aged ≥ 75 years. Road trauma and falls were consistently the commonest injury mechanisms. There were 1328 inhospital deaths (13.6%). Year of injury, level of trauma centre, ISS, head/neck injury and age were all independent predictors of mortality. The odds of mortality was significantly higher among patients receiving definitive care at regional trauma centres compared with Level I centres (odds ratio, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.10–1.63). Conclusions: Deaths from major trauma in NSW trauma centres have declined since 2003, and definitive care at a Level 1 trauma centre was associated with a survival benefit. More comprehensive trauma data collection with timely analysis will improve injury surveillance and better inform health policy in NSW.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:25:59 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55410 Mon 27 May 2024 12:11:36 AEST ]]>
