TRISS-LIKE TRAUMA OUTCOME ANALYSIS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONAL COEFFICIENTS
The TRISS methodology has been widely used to compare trauma patient outcomes. A recent modification - TRISS-like analysis - allows inclusion of intubated patients. It was hypothesized that the development of coefficients utilizing data from patients within the region being reviewed (Ontario) would provide a better tool. The Comprehensive Data Set of the Ontario Trauma Registry was accessed, which contains data on severely injured patients (ISS>12) from all 11 lead trauma hospitals in the province. Three year's data were obtained, and checked for accuracy and completeness. TRISS-like analysis was performed using the previously published coefficients. New coefficients were then derived, using regression analysis on the Ontario patient data. 5,258 of 6,389 files were complete and eligible for analysis.
