3 EDITOR S NOTE The Annual Report of the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) is an updated analysis of the largest aggregation of U.S./Canadian trauma registry data ever assembled. In total, the NTDB now contains more than 5 million records. The 2013 Annual Report is based on 833, admission year records from 805 facilities. In the interest of capturing a better picture of deaths in the NTDB, any patients that have been recorded as Discharged to Hospice have now been counted as deaths. The mission of the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Committee on Trauma (COT) is to develop and implement meaningful programs for trauma care. In keeping with this mission, the NTDB is committed to being the principal national repository for trauma center registry data. The purpose of this report is to inform the medical community, the public, and decision makers about a wide variety of issues that characterize the current state of care for injured persons. It has implications in many areas, including epidemiology, injury control, research, education, acute care, and resource allocation. The NTDB Committee would like to thank all of the trauma centers that contributed data and hopes that this report will attract new participants. The National Trauma Data Bank Annual Report is available on the ACS website as a PowerPoint PDF at In addition, information is available on our website about how to obtain NTDB data for more detailed study.

4 EDITOR S NOTE, CONT D Many dedicated individuals on the ACS COT, as well as at trauma centers, have contributed to the early development of the NTDB and its rapid growth in recent years. Building on these achievements, our goals in the coming years include improving data quality, updating analytic methods, and enabling more useful inter hospital comparisons. These efforts will be reflected in future NTDB reports to participating hospitals as well as in the Annual Reports. To cite figures used from the NTDB Annual Report, please specify the title of the report and year, and the name of the figure used in the format of the following: Name of, Committee on Trauma, American College of Surgeons.

5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The National Trauma Data Bank is the largest aggregation of U.S. trauma registry data ever assembled. It contains more than 5 million records. The 2013 Annual Report reviews 2012 admissions submitted in the 2013 call for data, totaling 833,311records with valid trauma diagnoses. The goal of the NTDB is to inform the medical community, the public, and decision makers about a wide variety of issues that characterize the current state of care for injured persons in our country. It has implications in many areas, including epidemiology, injury control, research, education, acute care, and resource allocation. This endeavor is in keeping with the mission of the American College of Surgeons Committee on Trauma, which is To improve the care of the injured through systematic efforts in prevention, care, and rehabilitation. Injury Severity Score The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is a system for numerically stratifying injury severity. The ISS system has a range of 1-75 and risk of death increases with a higher score. This report categorizes ISS 1-8 as Minor; 9-15 as Moderate; as Severe; and greater than 24 as Very Severe. ISS used in the report analysis is calculated by using the AIS submitted by hospitals and then crosswalked to AIS98. If the hospital does not submit AIS, then ISS is based on AIS derived from ICDMAP-90. Almost half (47.05%) of patients suffer minor injuries and just under one third (30.51%) have moderate injuries. Case fatality rates increase with injury severity, with the most severe group experiencing a case fatality rate of 30. Case fatality for all severity levels is higher for patients age 75 and over. Median length of stay (LOS) increases for each consecutive severity grouping. Payment Medicare insurance is the single largest payment source at 22.73%. Private/commercial insurance is second at 20.31%. Self pay is the third largest payment category at 14.90%. Mortality The overall mortality rate is 4.15%. The largest number of deaths is caused by fall related injuries, followed by motor vehicle traffic and firearm. Firearm, suffocation, and drowning/submersion have the highest case fatality rates. Case fatality rates are highest in patients age 75 and over. Firearm injuries have the highest case fatality rates in every age group among the selected mechanisms shown in the report.

6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (CONT D) NTDB Hospitals 805 hospitals submitted data to the NTDB in are Level I centers. 267 are Level II centers. 240 are Level III or Level IV centers. 33 are Level I or Level II Pediatric only centers % of participating trauma centers reported using the NTDB ICD 9 inclusion criteria for their registries % of participating centers reported including all hip fractures (in accordance with NTDB inclusion criteria) % reported including DOAs in their registries. Age Injuries initially peak in ages 14 to 29, primarily from MVT related incidents and peak again between the ages of 40 and 50, when falls begin to increase. Fall related injuries spike in children under 7 and adults over the age of 75. Males account for 70% of all incidents up to age 70, after age 71, most patients are female. Mechanism of Injury Falls account for 40% of cases in the NTDB, with injuries increasing in children under age 7 and adults over the age of 75. Motor vehicle traffic related injuries account for 27% of cases in the NTDB, with a dramatic rise between age 15 and 33, peaking around age 19. Firearm injuries steadily increase from and decrease afterwards Suffocation, drowning/submersion injuries, and firearm injuries, have the highest case fatality rates, with suffocation at 30.30%, drowning/submersion at 18.14%. and firearm at 16.21%.
