GARCIA-CANAS, R; NAVARRO-SUAY, R  and  TAMBURRI-BARIAIN, R. Towards a military trauma registry. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2021, vol.77, n.3, pp.150-155.  Epub Jan 17, 2022. ISSN 1887-8571.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/s1887-85712021000300006.

Systematic collection of data from combat injuries is determinant to analyze provided care and the outcome of combat casualties.

Well-established and structured trauma registries are fundamental in military trauma care. We recommend implementation of a trauma registry in the Spanish Health Corps, that also allows adaptation and compatibility with other systems used by allied countries and other international organizations to which Spain belongs.

Keywords : trauma registry; combat casualty; injury coding; military medicine.
