National ECDS – Emergency Care Data Set

Lay Description

National ECDS dataset containing longitudinal emergency care activity for patients who have ever had an emergency care attendance coded as related to a road traffic collision. The RTC-coded attendance defines cohort inclusion, but subsequent ECDS records may relate to any future emergency care and are not necessarily linked to the RTC event.

This dataset is managed by PRANA.
