Description

The Australia New Zealand Trauma Registry (ATR) collects 90 data-points in accordance with the Bi-national Trauma Minimum Dataset for Australia and New Zealand, for severely injured patients (ISS>12) or death after injury, from 28 Australian and seven New Zealand major trauma centres. The ATR provides risk adjusted outcomes to trauma centres and continues to increase its capture of major trauma through rigorous recruitment. The ATR focuses on monitoring trauma care, from time of incident to discharge from definitive care, in order to reflect and act upon emerging trends and demands on the trauma system across Australia and New Zealand.

Collecting and analysing information about trauma patients, their management and their injury outcomes informs future improvements to health service provision and development, with the long term societal aim of reducing preventable deaths and permanent disability as a result of injuries.
