Area of Science:

  • Trauma care systems
  • Emergency medical services
  • Public health surveillance

Background:

  • New York State established a statewide trauma system in the early 1990s.
  • Key components include designated trauma centers and prehospital triage by emergency medical services (EMS).
  • A statewide trauma registry provides population-based data for quality improvement and research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the New York State trauma system.
  • To guide revisions of the EMS trauma triage protocol using registry data.
  • To identify high-risk patient populations for improved trauma care.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of population-based data from the New York State trauma registry.
  • Evaluation of prehospital trauma triage criteria for adult patients.
  • Comparison of mortality rates between different trauma center levels and non-trauma centers.

Main Results:

  • Revisions to the EMS trauma triage protocol refined physiologic and mechanism criteria.
  • Patients with specific physiologic criteria treated in regional centers had reduced mortality.
  • Patients older than 55 or younger than 5 years represent a high-risk group with elevated mortality.

Conclusions:

  • Population-based trauma registries are crucial for evaluating and improving trauma triage criteria.
  • Structured prehospital trauma records enhance the quality, efficiency, and access to trauma care.
  • Identifying and considering high-risk populations improves patient outcomes in trauma systems.
