AbstractThe TRISS methodology was applied to identify preventable trauma deaths in a retrospective audit of 267 (M = 0.908) patients admitted to a teaching hospital through the resuscitation room of its accident and emergency department during a 1-year period. No unexpected survivors were identified; of the 44 deaths (Z = 5.35), 25 (56.8%) were judged preventable by the TRISS method. Those deaths deemed preventable were subjected to peer review by a panel of six consultants. The findings are discussed in respect of recommendations made for UK trauma centre provision by the Working Party Report of the Royal College of Surgeons of England on the management of patients with major injuries.
