| Popis: | Objective: To provide reliable and comparable information on major injury (MIJ) (Injury Severity Score (ISS)>15) by establishing a comprehensive and Utstein-style compliant registry of all occurrences in a defined geographical area. Methods: Prospective, population-based, 12-month study targeting the 1,200,000 inhabitants of the Italian region Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG). Deliberate self-harm was excluded. Results: The total number of MIJ cases was 627, the resulting incidence 522 per million per year. Trauma was mostly blunt (98.4%). Young (15-44 years) adults (54.8%) and males (78.6%) were most affected. Leading mechanisms of injury were traffic accidents (81%) and falls (9.1%). Most events occurred in rural (80.9%) areas despite one third of the regional population living in major urban centres. Summer and weekends carried the highest frequency. The mean ISS (n=455) was 30.0, median 25. On-scene vital parameters were often subnormal, e.g. 53.9%, GCS |
