Abstract
Many low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) have attempted to implement trauma registries with varying degrees of success. This study aimed to understand the registry implementation mechanism in LMICs better. Study objectives include assessment of the current use of trauma registries in LMICs, identification of barriers to the process and potential areas for intervention, and investigation of the registry implementation experience of key stakeholders in LMICs.
An initial narrative review of articles on trauma registry use in LMICs published in English between January 2017 and September 2023 was conducted. Key findings identified in this review were used to establish a theoretical framework from which an interview guide was subsequently developed. Expert consultation with key stakeholders in trauma registry implementation in two LMICs was conducted to assess the experience of registry implementation further.
The presence of trauma registries in LMICs is limited. Key implementation barriers include funding concerns, uncoordinated administrative efforts, lack of human and physical resources (i.e., technology, equipment), and challenges in data management, analysis, and quality. Stakeholder interviews highlighted the importance of trauma registry development but echoed some obstacles, notably funding and data collection barriers.
Barriers to registry implementation are ubiquitous and may contribute to the low uptake of registries in LMICs. One potential solution to these challenges is the application of the WHO International Registry for Trauma and Emergency Care. Future studies examining context-specific challenges to registry implementation and sustained utilization are required.
期刊介绍:
The Indian Journal of Medical Research (IJMR) [ISSN 0971-5916] is one of the oldest medical Journals not only in India, but probably in Asia, as it started in the year 1913. The Journal was started as a quarterly (4 issues/year) in 1913 and made bimonthly (6 issues/year) in 1958. It became monthly (12 issues/year) in the year 1964.
