Work group on a Scandinavian Major Trauma Outcome study and a future Scandinavian Trauma Registry
The SCANTEM group will explore problems with a common understanding of current variables from the existing trauma registries in Scandinavia. Through a nominal group technique, the group will make a suggestion for future inclusion criteria and core data. A proposal for a pilot study with small samples from selected hospitals, and a flowchart based on core data will be presented.
