About NTrD
Welcome to the National Trauma Database (NTrD).
The NTrD is a MOH supported service to collect information on
outcome of trauma patients. The information can be used to
determine the frequency, mechanism of injury and distribution of
major trauma in the country. Such information is useful for
assisting the MOH, non-governmental organizations, private
providers and industry in planning and evaluation, leading to
trauma prevention and control.
The NTrD is sponsored by the Ministry of Health, Malaysia and
supported by several of its organizations:
Emergency Department, Selayang Hospital.
Department of Neurosurgery, Kuala Lumpur Hospital.
Clinical Research Centre (CRC), Kuala Lumpur Hospital.
The CRC of the MOH will provide technical support in the form of
clinical epidemiology expertise, and biostatistical and ICT
services.
A Governance Board will be established to oversee the operations
of the NTrD. The MOH, universities, professional bodies, NGOs
and private healthcare providers will be present on this
committee to ensure that the NTrD stays focused on its
objectives, continuing relevance and justification.
Purpose of the NTrD
The objectives of the NTrD are to:
Determine the frequency, mechanism of injury and distribution
of major trauma in Malaysia. These are useful measures of health
burden arising from the major trauma and its management in the
country.
Determine the outcome and probability of survival of the
trauma patients.
Evaluate the major trauma management in the participating
hospitals and to come up with guidelines for improved trauma
care.
Determine the extent improvements introduced have been
achieved.
Stimulate and facilitate research on major trauma and its
management.
Sources of trauma data in Malaysia
The NTrD receives data on trauma from main source of:
All Emergency Physicians and Neurosurgeons in Malaysia
beginning with those currently working in the government sector
and later on extending it to those beyond (private and armed
forces) for data on trauma in the country.

For the NTrD to succeed, ideally all doctors who have anything
to do with trauma ought to report to the NTrD. We urge you to do
your part for your community, and help NTrD obtain the
information crucial to health care development in this country
especially in the field of emergency and neurosurgery.
We look forward to the continued support and collaboration from
parties that will enable the National Trauma Database (NTrD) to
develop and contribute significantly to the control of trauma in
this country.
