Abstract

The data of all trauma fatalities occurring in 12 Dutch hospitals during a period of 1 year were reviewed for management errors and preventable deaths. Of all fatalities, 21% were classified as preventable deaths. From these results, it can be concluded that management errors and preventable deaths are general phenomena occurring in any hospital.
