National Follow-up Survey of Preventable Trauma Death Rate in Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The preventable trauma death rate survey is a basic tool for the quality management of trauma treatment because it is a method that can intuitively evaluate the level of national trauma treatment. We conducted this study as a national biennial follow-up survey project and report the results of the review of the 2019 trauma death data in Korea.

Methods

From January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019, of a total of 8,482 trauma deaths throughout the country, 1,692 were sampled from 279 emergency medical institutions in Korea. All cases were evaluated for preventability of death and opportunities for improvement using a multidisciplinary panel review approach.

Results

The preventable trauma death rate was estimated to be 15.7%. Of these, 3.1% were judged definitive
