  • Published:
Acta Neurochirurgica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

 Reliable information is vital for clinical trials, so we developed a database, for head trauma victims admitted to neuro-intensive care units (NICU). This database, first step in a sequential project, comprises 176 selected fields mainly focused on the early post-traumatic phase and has a user-friendly computerized interface. The software was tested for a trimester in 18 Italian neuro-intensive care units.

 The paper describes the main features of the database, the results of a three months' data collection test, its limitations and its potential improvements.

 A description of the database fields and a brief summary of the 282 patients included so far are also presented.
