Main Article Content
Background:
Emergency care information systems in trauma are essential to improve the decision making and identify potential areas of intervention.
Objective:
To describe the first year of experience of trauma registry in two reference trauma centers of the southwestern Colombia.
Methods:
A study conducted in two reference trauma centers of Cali city. There were included those patients with any injury from external causes or trauma occurred between January 1st and December 31st of 2012. Information related with demographics, injury mechanism, severity injury (ISS) and mortality were collected. We presented a descriptive analysis.
Results:
There were registered 17,431 patients whereof 67.8% were male with a mean of 30 (±20) years old. Workplace injuries were the 28.2% cause of emergency consultation, and falls were the most prevalent trauma mechanism. Majority of patients with a ISS ≥15 were in a range age of 18-35 years (6.4%). The 28% of patients with gunshot wounds had a ISS ≥15. An overall of 2.5% of included patients died and those who had a ISS ≥15 and gunshot wounds showed a mortality of 54%.
Conclusion:
Upon the implementation of the trauma registry in two main hospitals of Cali city, we identify that falls and workplace injuries were the leading cause of admission to the emergency room. Severely compromised patients are in the range age of 18-35 years old. Mortality was higher for those patients who suffered gunshot wounds.
