Abstract

Trauma systems have data registries in order to describe and evaluate (the quality of) trauma care. If results between centres and countries (benchmarking) are to be compared, data has to be accurate, reliable and complete. All trauma registries deal with incompleteness. A contributor to incompleteness of the data is failure to include patients that fulfil the criteria; the so-called missing patients. The aim of this study is to assess the number of missing patients in our regional trauma registry and to identify predictors for being missing from the trauma registry.
