Direct (presenting primarily to trauma center) versus indirect (referred or transferred) admission of patients to the Trauma Centre of King George Medical University: One-year prospective pilot study.

Background: India does not have a trauma registry. There is lack of base line demographic data of trauma victims that present directly to the trauma center and those that are transferred to the trauma center.

Aim: To compare the clinical and demographic profile of directly admitted (presenting primarily to the trauma center) and referred (transferred to trauma center) patients at the trauma centre of King George Medical University.
