Preventable Paediatric Trauma - Retrospective Analysis

A Trauma Registry is already kept in the hospital. It is confidential and data is supplied to the government from this registry. The procedure is to be granted access to the database and access data stored on the mechanism and outcome of Paeditric Trauma. This data will be stored on the work computer of the principal investigator and will be password protected. Methods: Identify from the Trauma database all patients assessed at Ziv Medical Centre with Trauma, consult their medical notes and document the exact injury, the mechanism of injury, the circumstances, whether the child was alone or supervised, the nature and complications of the injury, treatment required and short and long term progress and disability.
