[EngO8-5] Trauma system including trauma center: a death review from premature trauma center in Korea
Introduction: Trauma deaths can be preventable if the trauma system is well established. The objective is to assess all trauma deaths in trauma center.
Method: We analyzed 294 deaths associated with trauma for 3-year period. Variables including Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS) and Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) were evaluated.
Result: 206 (70.1%) patients were male and mean age was 56.5 years. Most of patients (89.1%) were injured by blunt mechanism. Mean GCS, ISS, TRISS were 5.64, 27.1, 0.39, respectively.
Conclusion: Evaluation of trauma deaths can improve trauma center performance.
