The role of trauma documentation has grown continuously since the 1970s. Prevention and management of injuries were adapted according to the results of many analyses. Since 1993 there have been two different trauma databases in Germany: the German trauma registry (TR) and the database of the Accident Research Unit (UFO). Modern computer applications improved the data processing. Our study analysed the pros and cons of each system and compared them with those of our European neighbours.
We compared the TR and the UFO databases with respect to aims and goals, advantages and disadvantages, and current status. Results were reported as means +/- standard errors of the mean. The level of significance was set at P<0.05.
There were differences between the two databases concerning number and types of items, aims and goals, and demographics. The TR documents care for severely injured patients and the clinical course of different types of accidents. The UFO describes traffic accidents, accident conditions, and interrelations. The German and British systems are similar, and the French system shows interesting differences.
The German trauma documentation systems focus on different points. Therefore both can be used for substantiated analyses of different hypotheses. Certain intersections of both databases may help to answer very special questions in the future.
自20世纪70年代以来，创伤记录的作用一直在持续增长。伤害的预防和管理根据许多分析结果进行了调整。自1993年以来，德国有两个不同的创伤数据库：德国创伤登记处（TR）和事故研究单位（UFO）的数据库。现代计算机应用改进了数据处理。我们的研究分析了每个系统的优缺点，并将它们与我们欧洲邻国的系统进行了比较。
我们比较了TR和UFO数据库在目标、优缺点和现状方面的情况。结果以均值±均值标准误差的形式报告。显著性水平设定为P<0.05。
两个数据库在项目数量和类型、目标以及人口统计学方面存在差异。TR记录对重伤患者的护理以及不同类型事故的临床过程。UFO描述交通事故、事故情况和相互关系。德国和英国的系统相似，而法国的系统显示出有趣的差异。
德国的创伤记录系统关注不同的要点。因此，两者都可用于对不同假设进行有充分依据的分析。两个数据库的某些交叉点可能有助于在未来回答非常特殊的问题。
