Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
analysis of data completeness	single time point assessment at baseline	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).
length of hospital stay	single time point assessment at baseline	analysis of patient outcome: length of hospital stay (days)
rate of patients receiving intensive care treatment	single time point assessment at baseline	analysis of patient outcome: rate of patients receiving intensive care treatment
rate of 28 day survival	single time point assessment at baseline	analysis of patient outcome: rate of patients' 28 day survival
rate of patients returning to the previous living situation	single time point assessment at baseline	analysis of patient outcome: rate of patients returning to the previous living situation

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
cost of maintenance of the register	single time point assessment at baseline	analysis of how many pro-rata salary per cent annually are specifically invested in the maintenance of the register
