Introduction:A trauma registry is a disease-specific data collection composed of a file of uniform data elements that describe the injury even, demographics, prehospital information, diagnosis, care, outcomes, and costs of treatment for injured patients.Aim:To establish a trauma registry system on an electronic platform enabling data capturing through Android phones.Methods:A software has been developed for the registry data collection for road traffic injury patients arriving at JPNATC, AIIMS, New Delhi. The software has been designed to use in the Emergency Department on Android phones/laptops with internet access.Result:A detailed registry data set has been prepared to enter prehospital, in-hospital, and post-discharge details of all the admitted patients. This includes demographic data, prehospital data, injury event data, vital signs within 24-hrs of arrival, ED disposition (date and time), operative procedures within 48 hours of arrival, chest x-ray (date and time), CT (date and time), ventilation days, ICU-stay days, hospital disposition (date and time), injury coding data (region, severity level, ISS, AIS, ICD-10) and Others, e.g., first neurosurgical consultation (date and time) and first blood transfusion (date and time). There are two panels for this software; one for user panel and another for the administrative panel. User panel is being used for data collection by the trained data collectors 24/7 at the emergency department on a rotation basis. The administrative panel is accessible to only the investigator or other authorized persons. The administrative panel and user panels are password protected. The entered data is being saved in a spreadsheet in the backend and can be used for periodic data quality check and data analysis.Discussion:There is no trauma registry in India so far for the road traffic injury patients. Present innovation would lay the foundation of national Trauma Registry in India.

Children And Young Adults

Road traffic injury is currently the leading cause of death among children and young adults aged 5–29 years all over the world. Measures must be taken to avoid accidents and promote the sustainability of road safety. The current study aimed to identify risk factors that are significantly associated with the severity in crash accidents; therefore, traffic crashes could be reduced, and the sustainable safety level of roadways could be improved. The Apriori algorithm is carried out to mine the significant association rules between the severity of the crash accidents and the factors influencing the occurrence of crash accidents. Compared to previous studies, the current study included the variables more comprehensively, including environment, management, and the state of drivers and vehicles. The data for the current study comes from the Wisconsin Transportation crash database that contains information on all reported crashes in Wisconsin in the year 2016. The results indicate that male drivers aged 16–29 are more inclined to be involved in crashes on roadways with no physical separation. Additionally, fatal crashes are more likely to occur in towns while property damage crashes are more likely to occur in the city. The findings can help government to make efficient policies on road safety improvement.
