Abstract
Background: International benchmarking can help identify trauma system performance issues and determine the
extent to which other countries also experience these. When problems are identified, countries can look to high
performers for insight into possible responses. The objective of this study was to compare the treatment and
outcome of severely injured patients in Germany and Navarra, Spain. ...

Background: International benchmarking can help identify trauma system performance issues and determine the
extent to which other countries also experience these. When problems are identified, countries can look to high
performers for insight into possible responses. The objective of this study was to compare the treatment and
outcome of severely injured patients in Germany and Navarra, Spain.
Methods: Data collected, from 2010 to 2013, in the Navarra Major Trauma Registry (NMTR) and the TraumaRegister
DGU® (TR-DGU) were compared. Both registries followed the Utstein Trauma Template (European Core Dataset) for
documentation of trauma patients. Adult patients (≥ 16 years) with New Injury Severity Score (NISS) being >15 points
were included in this study. Patients who had been admitted to the hospital later than 24 h after the trauma, had been
pronounced dead before hospital arrival, or had been injured by hanging, drowning or burns, were excluded.
Demographic data, injury data, prehospital data, hospital treatment data, time intervals, and outcome were compared.
The expected mortality was calculated using the Revised Injury Severity Classification score II (RISC II).
Results: A total of 646 and 43,110 patients were included in the outcome analysis from NMTR and TR-DGU, respectively.
The difference between observed and expected mortality was −0.4% (standardized mortality ratio [SMR] 0.97; 95% CI
0.93–1.04) in Germany and 1.6% (SMR 1.08; 95% CI: 1.02–1.14) in Navarra. Differences in the characteristics of trauma
patients and trauma systems between the regions were noted.
Conclusion: The higher observed mortality in Navarra is consistent with the epidemiological characteristics of its
population. However, to improve the quality of trauma care in the Navarra trauma system, certain improvements are
necessary. There were less young adults with severe injuries in Navarra than in Germany. It is possible to compare data
of severely injured patients from different countries if standardized registries are used. [--]
