We established a trauma registry in 2003 to collect data on trauma patients, which is a major cause of death in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The aim of this paper is to report on the long term effects of our early analysis of this registry.
Data in the early stages of this trauma registry were collected for 503 patients during a period of 6 months in 2003. Data was collected on a paper form and then entered into the trauma registry using a self-developed Access database. Descriptive analysis was performed.
Most were males (87%), the mean age (SD) was 30.5 (14.9). UAE citizens formed 18.5%. Road traffic collisions caused an overwhelming 34.2% of injuries with 29.7% of those involving UAE citizens while work-related injuries were 26.2%. The early analysis of this registry had two major impacts. Firstly, the alarmingly high rate of UAE nationals in road traffic collisions standardized to the population led to major concerns and to the development of a specialized road traffic collision registry three years later. Second, the equally alarming high rate of work-related injuries led to collaboration with a Preventive Medicine team who helped with refining data elements of the trauma registry to include data important for research in trauma prevention.
Analysis of a trauma registry as early as six months can lead to useful information which has long term effects on the progress of trauma research and prevention.
我们于 2003 年建立了创伤登记处，以收集有关创伤患者的数据，这是阿拉伯联合酋长国（阿联酋）的主要死亡原因。本文旨在报告我们对该登记处早期分析的长期影响。
在 2003 年的 6 个月期间，我们在该创伤登记处的早期阶段收集了 503 名患者的数据。数据是在纸质表格上收集的，然后使用我们自行开发的 Access 数据库输入到创伤登记处。进行了描述性分析。
大多数是男性（87％），平均年龄（标准差）为 30.5（14.9）。阿联酋公民占 18.5％。道路交通碰撞造成了压倒性的 34.2％的伤害，其中 29.7％涉及阿联酋公民，而与工作相关的伤害占 26.2％。该登记处的早期分析有两个主要影响。首先，道路交通碰撞中阿联酋国民的惊人高发病率与人口标准化后，引起了人们的极大关注，并在三年后开发了专门的道路交通碰撞登记处。其次，同样令人震惊的是与工作相关的伤害发生率很高，这促使我们与预防医学团队合作，他们帮助完善了创伤登记处的数据要素，包括对创伤预防研究很重要的数据。
即使在六个月的时间内对创伤登记处进行分析，也可以得出有用的信息，这些信息对创伤研究和预防的进展有长期影响。
