National Pediatric Trauma Registry

The National Pediatric Trauma Registry (NPTR) is a system that collects and analyzes data about injuries in children to improve their care and safety. It gathers information from hospitals about the types of injuries children sustain, how they are treated, and the outcomes. This data helps healthcare providers understand patterns in pediatric trauma, identify risk factors, and develop strategies for prevention and treatment. By studying this information, researchers and medical professionals can enhance practices, formulate policies, and ultimately reduce the incidence and impact of traumatic injuries among children.
