| Abstract | ||
| Trauma registries are considered databases intended to document the acute stage of hospital care carried to trauma victims. Trauma registries commonly include information on demographics of the patients, the circumstances of the trauma, pre-hospital care, interventions received during their emergency department and in-hospital stay, description of the anatomical site of injury, physiological measurements, complications, outcomes and patient disposition. To improve outcomes for injured pediatric patients, this requires strong data from hospital-based trauma registries. They provide a standardized way to facilitate injury surveillance, measure outcomes, and track changes in trauma system performance over time. AIM OF THE WORK: The primary aim was to investigate all injuries from trauma-related causes among children aged from birth till 16 years to estimate the prevalence of different types of childhood injuries presenting at Alexandria Main University Hospital. The Secondary aim is to evaluate the outcome of pediatric trauma patients. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The required sample was collected over a period of six months, with a minimum sample size of 350 patients who were admitted to Alexandria Main University Hospital (AMUH) through the Emergency Department (ED) and had a history of trauma according to the inclusion criteria. | ||
