This data is compiled into the Trauma System Registry.  Hospital Trauma Registrars gather data from prehospital\n\n\n\n\n  patient care reports and hospital medical records to enter into the trauma registry software program. They submit data on a quarterly basis to the\n\n\n\n\n  Office of Emergency Medical Services&#8217; Trauma System Coordinator.  Statewide Trauma System reports are then generated on various\n\n\n\n\n  topics, including types and locations of incidents and categories of people injured throughout the state.  The data can be used to\n\n\n\n\n  identify areas of need for injury prevention programs and for research on patterns of injury in our state so that methods of addressing\n\n\n\n\n  the injury problem can be developed and improved.\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n  The patient population included in the Trauma System Registry is all patients with an injury diagnosis that are admitted to a Delaware\n\n\n\n\n  acute care hospital, are transferred to or from a Delaware acute care hospital, or who die in a Delaware hospital Emergency Department.\n\n\n\n\n   Prior to January 1, 2014 patients who fell on the same level, were over 55 years old, and whose only injury was a simple hip fracture\n\n\n\n\n  were excluded. Patients pronounced dead at the scene of a traumatic incident are also included in the database.\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3>\n\n\n\n\n  Injury Occurrence Data\n\n\n\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n  It is customary to use rates per 100,000 population when reporting on different counties and\/or states to allow &#8220;apples to apples&#8221;\n\n\n\n\n  comparisons.  There may or may not be 100,000 residents in the county under review, but multiplying the result by 100,000 makes that rate\n\n\n\n\n  reliably comparable to other counties.  Per 100,000 rate of population means that for every 100,000 people the state\/county has the\n\n\n\n\n  reported number of injuries.  For example, 17 falls per 100,000 means that for every 100,000 people, 17 of them have fallen.  Utilizing \n\n\n\n\n  age-adjusted or age-specific rates further enhances comparability of data in instances where the age profiles of the two populations \n\n\n\n\n  being compared are dissimilar.  The age-adjustments seen below were calculated using the U.S. 2000 standard population.\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h3>\n\n\n\n\n  Delaware Injury Data\n\n\n\n\n<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n  Trauma System Registry data presented in the following graphs provide snapshots of various parameters and information on the patients\n\n\n\n\n  injured and types of incidents that have occurred in Delaware.\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n  The graph below demonstrates the increasing number of Delaware residents with injuries serious enough to require hospitalization.\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n  <img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Delaware Residents Hospitalized Due to Injury\" class=\"img-thumbnail img-responsive\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/dph\/img\/graph_number_of_de_hospitalizations.jpg\">\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n  Below, the death (mortality) rate for all patients with trauma injury hospitalizations treated in Delaware Trauma Centers, is compared to \n\n\n\n\n  national data from the National Trauma Data Bank.
