Trends in Preventable Trauma Death Rates in Korea: A Follow-up Study of the Trauma System's Performance
In 2021, the PTDR was 13.9%, showing a slight reduction compared to the 2019 study. This study primarily evaluated the performance of Korea's trauma system, with findings highlighting both progress and persistent challenges. Although the study was conducted during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, its potential indirect impact on trauma care is acknowledged as an area for further research. Addressing systemic limitations remains essential for further reducing preventable trauma deaths.
