    BackgroundIn this prospective study, the TRISS methodology is used to compare trauma care at a University Hospital in Jakarta, Indonesia, with the standards reported in the Major Trauma Outcome Study (MTOS).MethodsBetween February 24, 1999, and July 1, 1999, all consecutive patients with multiple and severe trauma were included in the study (n = 105). Survival analysis was completed for 97 (92%) patients.ResultsThe majority of patients were men (81%), and the average age was 28 years. Ninety-five patients (98%) sustained blunt trauma, with motor vehicle crashes being the most common (68%). The predicted mortality was 14% and the observed mortality was 29%. The Z and M statistics were 7.87 and 0.843, respectively.ConclusionWe conclude that in developing countries both institution-bound factors and specific limitations in the TRISS methodology are responsible for the difference between predicted and observed mortality, indicating the need for a regional database.
