Injuries are the consequential social and economical problem and most frequent causes of death in the age group 0–24 years in the world. The idea to create National Children´s trauma register exists since year 2004 and is systematic developed at Clinic of paediatric surgery, orthopaedics abd traumatology (Paediatric trauma centre).
To get the total and valid dataset from a large region, it’s necessary to assemble them in one common information system. All the data are stored in the central safety database and it´ll be made regularly data analyse and valid data output every year. Separately are collected data of hospitalized monotrauma, polytrauma and slight injuries and system is connected with register of death chidren.
Thanks collection and comparision of data from each region (Czech Republic) is possible to define the risk activities and places, and make analyse for more details and create effective preventive measures. All the Paediatric trauma centres are now connected together and they all collect the traumatological data. The first analysis (first half of 2008) is avilable.
The creating and currency of National Children´s Trauma Register into the Paediatric trauma centres is the first and very important step. The possibility to analyse injuries in the first half of year 2008 and its results confirms recovery and imporatnce of national injury database.
Key words:
polytrauma, child, register, injury.
