🚨 90% of trauma deaths occur in LMICs. To tackle this crisis, a well-designed trauma registry is essential.

This new study, led by CGS members and partners working in LMICs 🌍, used the Delphi Technique to bring together trauma experts worldwide to identify the most important data for trauma registries in resource-limited settings.

The result? A focused, implementable list of key variables that can improve trauma care, guide system development, and save lives. 🙌

90 % des décès dus à des traumatismes surviennent dans les pays à faible revenu. Pour faire face à cette crise, il est essentiel de disposer d'un registre des traumatismes bien conçu.

Cette nouvelle étude, menée par des membres du CCM et des partenaires travaillant dans les PRFM 🌍 , a utilisé la technique Delphi pour réunir des experts en traumatologie du monde entier afin d'identifier les données les plus importantes pour les registres de traumatologie dans les contextes à ressources limitées.

Le résultat ? Une liste ciblée et applicable de variables clés susceptibles d'améliorer les soins de traumatologie, de guider le développement du système et de sauver des vies. 🙌
