Summary

Every year more people die from traumatic injuries than from infections such as malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS. About 3000 people are killed annually on Kenyan roads. Hospital trauma registers have played a key role in the advancement of patient-based research and trauma care. Trauma registers offer a unique opportunity to document patient characteristics and audit outcomes, thereby creating a platform for clinical research. One of these systems is the ICD-based Injury Severity Score (ICISS) derived from and validated on hospital data to predict hospital death. The establishment of the register enables us to compare the trauma care quality with other existing or upcoming trauma registers, in different settings.
