Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Background:
Road traffic injuries (RTIs) are the third leading cause of death and will constitute 16% of the global burden of disease by 2030. Evidence suggests that 90% of RTIs mortality burden disproportionately occur in low-middle-income countries (LMICs) such as those in Africa. Our recent studies showed that most of the fatal injuries in Uganda result from motorized two wheel-car collisions, contributing to (52.6%-64.7%) of orthopedic and traumatic brain injuries. Uganda lacks adequate universal access to trauma care and injury surveillance information systems due to limited human and infrastructural resources even though universal access to quality trauma care and injury data are in-line with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals.
Objectives of the trial:
The aim of this doctoral thesis project is to evaluate the feasibility of traffic law enforcement and medical trainees in formation of trauma registries in Uganda (Africa), and to examines the effect of rural trauma teams and training on outcomes of orthopedic and neurological injuries. The trial was approved with four individual studies which will be compiled into a doctoral thesis as chapters, corresponding to the key main outcomes. |
