Summary

This chapter explores the uses of case series data for the assessment of clinical care, as well as understanding the etiology of injuries. An extension of the case series is the trauma registry. The main difficulties with analysis of case series data, in general, and with trauma registry data in particular, are in attempting to make generalizations about all injury victims and about injury risk factors from patients admitted to one hospital. When attempting to obtain data on the full spectrum of injuries occurring in a given community or area, supplemental data on minor injuries will be needed. Trauma registries are an extension of case series and offer many advantages to both clinical care and the study of injury mechanisms. However, for both case series and trauma registry studies, considerable caution must be exercised in attempting to make inferences about injury risk factors and about injury characteristics of the population.
