To the Editor Trauma registries have been established in many countries to collect data for quality assessment, quality improvement, and research purposes. Information pertaining to patients and health systems based on trauma registry data is subject to trauma registry inclusion and exclusion criteria. Generalizability of outcome data is limited when inclusion criteria are narrow. Application of strict criteria may therefore diminish the value of trauma registries.

在创伤登记处纳入所有因创伤入院的患者。

致编辑在许多国家/地区已建立创伤登记处，以收集数据进行质量评估，质量改进和研究目的。基于创伤登记数据的与患者和卫生系统有关的信息应遵循创伤登记的纳入和排除标准。当纳入标准狭窄时，结果数据的可推广性受到限制。因此，严格标准的应用可能会减少创伤登记的价值。
