The Uyo Trauma Registry-developed for sustainable audit of trauma care and cause in Nigeria.

The Cape Town Trauma Registry (CTTR) was developed as a minimum data set for low-resource settings and was applied in a southern Nigerian tertiary hospital. Based on the outcome of the study, the CTTR was modified to produce the Uyo Trauma Registry. Using the CTTR, data was obtained prospectively from injured patients who presented to the Accident and Emergency Department of the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital over a 7 week period in June and July 2012.
