Executive summary

NSW Health NSW Trauma Minimum Data Set – 2002 Annual Report 1

This is the inaugural report of the NSW Institute of

Trauma and Injury Management (ITIM) Trauma Minimum

Data Set (TMDS).

BackgroundThe Trauma Minimum Data Set was commenced in 2002 after the establishment of the NSW Institute ofTrauma and Injury Management. This is the first timethat data of this type has been available in NSW.

This document is a high quality and timely report ofmajor trauma treated at trauma centres in the SydneyGreater Metropolitan region for the calendar year 2002,and includes data from the following hospitals:

■ John Hunter Hospital/John Hunter Children’s Hospital

■ Liverpool Hospital

■ Nepean Hospital

■ Prince of Wales Hospital

■ Royal North Shore Hospital

■ Royal Prince Alfred Hospital

■ St George Hospital

■ St Vincent’s Hospital

■ Sydney Children’s Hospital

■ The Children’s Hospital at Westmead

The criteria for inclusion in the TMDS are; all patientsadmitted to hospital due to physical injury who have an Injury Severity Score (ISS1) greater than 15 and/orwho die and/or are admitted to an Intensive Care Unit.Only those patients who had an Injury SeverityScore (ISS) greater than 15 were selected for thisreport as this was the only cohort that could beuniformly grouped across the trauma services.

In determining the data fields to be included in theTrauma Minimum Data Set the ITIM endeavoured toselect only those data fields that were readily availablewithin a hospital’s Trauma Registry. A conscious effortwas made not to create additional workload through‘extra’ data collection. The data needed to becollectable, relevant, reliable and reproducible.

The data collection tool is included in Appendix I.

Utilisation of information■ Provide comprehensive feedback to trauma clinicians,

Area Health Services, NSW Department of Health,Injury Prevention Groups, and other stakeholders.

■ Assess the performance of the Trauma System Program.

■ Identify opportunities for Education for clinicians,administrators and consumers.

■ Development of improved Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Key points■ Trauma is the major cause of death and disability in

young people. The 15-44 year age group representover 50% of the serious injuries documented in thisreport. This group is most at risk of serious injury,disability and death.

■ Serious injury is becoming an increasing problem inour aging population.

■ Males are still over represented by a ratio of 3:1.

■ Over a quarter of patients, or an average of eightpatients per week, are receiving initial assessmentand management of their injuries outside of a higher level trauma centre.

■ Of patients requiring surgery within the first 24 hoursof admission to hospital 34% need a craniotomyperformed. This indicates that traumatic brain injury is still a major cause of death and disability.

■ Serious injury occurs more frequently in theafternoon and early evening.

■ Serious injury occurs more frequently on Fridays,Saturdays and Sundays.

■ Road trauma is still the major cause of serious injury.This factor is very evident in Western, South WesternSydney and Hunter regions.

■ Falls at home in the elderly is a major problem,especially in the Northern and Eastern regions of Sydney.

■ Motor cyclists are over represented with more serious injuries occurring than would be expectedfrom the percentage of traffic that motorbikesrepresent on the road.

■ While all trauma services see a whole range of injuriesthere is a tendency for each trauma service to see apredominance of one or two mechanisms of injury.

Data summary

All data is for calendar year 2002 (ie 01/01/2002 to

31/12/2002) where patients had an Injury Severity Score

(ISS) >15. The ISS1 is a reflection of overall severity and

probability of survival based on an anatomical injury

severity classification, the AIS or Abbreviated Injury

Scale.2 An ISS of greater than 15 reflects serious injury.
