Note: CI = confidence interval, TBI = traumatic brain injury. *Light gray shading shows trauma centres with upper limits of the 95% confidence interval for in-hospital mortality rate < 1 (lower than expected mortality, i.e., lower adjusted likelihood of death compared with the other centres). Darker shading shows trauma centres with lower limits of the confidence interval > 1 (significantly higher than expected mortality). †Adjusted for gender, age, mechanism of injury, vital signs on arrival, injury severity and transfer status (as defined in Box 1).
