简要总结
Introduction: Injuries are a leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is necessary to know the incidence of injuries, mechanisms of wounds, therapy provided, and outcomes. Trauma registries are useful to describe the population served in specialized centers. Nevertheless, it is necessary also to identify the peculiarities of the event in the province and institutions non-dedicated to trauma attention.
Objective: The study aims to describe the initial experience with a trauma register in a general hospital in the Colombian Orinoquia.
Methodology: The investigators designed an observational retrospective study to analyze the admission database and revision of history charts of patients older than 15 years admitted for trauma from January to June 2023 in a hospital from Villavicencio, Colombia. The information will be exported to Excel for debugging and analysis. A description of the frequency and proportion of categorical variables will be performed; the central distribution and dispersion of quantitative variables will be reported. U of Mann-Whitney and Chi-square tests will be used to compare the variables by outcome; a p<0.05 was selected as a significant value.
Conclusions: It will be a pioneer study in this region, and it is necessary to evaluate the incidence of patients admitted by trauma, the mechanisms and type of injury, the care provided, and the outcomes.
详细描述
Trauma is a leading cause of global mortality or incapacitation in survivors. The population involved is mainly young adult men affected by preventable injuries. Knowing the incidence of injuries, mechanisms of wounds, approaching strategies, and outcomes is essential to review individual interventions and collective policies to improve prevention.
Casualties in Colombia had a high incidence in previous decades; injuries and attributable deaths have recently decreased, but they are still the third cause of mortality. Contrary to high-income countries, interpersonal violence is the predominant mechanism involved.
Data registries are used worldwide in specialized centers that focus on providing healthcare in trauma. Nevertheless, it is necessary also to know the incidence in community and non-dedicated general hospitals.
Determining the characteristics of patients admitted to the emergency ward by injuries will provide essential information on the severity, mechanisms, type of population affected, immediate or consequential care delivered, and outcomes. Such an analysis will give knowledge to prioritize policies, resources, upgrade clinical practice guidelines, and improve results.
