In-Hospital Electronic Registry of Severe Trauma of the Fondazione I.R.C.C.S. Policlinico San Matteo

The objective of establishing an in-hospital Trauma Registry, aimed at collecting data on patients who are victims of major trauma and treated at our Center, is to develop a comprehensive and in-depth tool for the analysis and monitoring of clinical activity within a Level I Trauma Center. The purpose of building such databases-specifically the proposed Trauma Registry-is to provide the hospital with a unique instrument for analyzing and monitoring the epidemiology and management of a specific patient population. In light of recent developments in the hospital's newly implemented clinical care pathway (PDTA) for the management of polytrauma patients, and the strategic enhancement offered by the opening of a dedicated helipad for the reception of such patients, our working group is committed to promoting a tool that may, both in the short and long term, foster clinical and scientific advancement at the Fondazione I.R.C.C.S. Policlinico San Matteo in Pavia. Our general objective is the prospective collection of data on major trauma patients admitted to and treated at the Fondazione I.R.C.C.S. Policlinico San Matteo. Our primary objective is to evaluate in-hospital mortality, used as a qualitative indicator of the Trauma Center's performance, among patients with severe trauma managed at our institution.
