National Trauma Registry of Iran: A Pilot Phase at a Major Trauma Center in Tehran.
The main objective was to describe the results of the pilot phase of the national trauma registry of Iran (NTRI) at a referral university trauma center in Tehran. ⋯ After successful implementation of NTRI at a major trauma center in Tehran, RTC was identified as the main cause of admission. Most patients were young men. The mean time interval between injury occurrence and hospital admission was too long. These findings could be used to improve quality of trauma care and formulate targeted preventive strategies.
