Motorcycle Trauma Outcome Registry (MOTOR) Trial Dataset

The present data includes the MOTOR Trial Dataset, Data Dictionary, and Data Analysis Codes. The data for the MOTOR trial were derived from a multi-center cluster randomized trial that aimed to evaluate the impact of rural trauma team development training and its implementation on various metrics, including prehospital time, the interval from referral decision to hospital discharge, and the clinical outcomes associated with motorcycle-related neurological and orthopedic injuries in Uganda (Pan African Clinical Trial Registry: PACTR202308851460352).

The study was predicated on the null hypothesis asserting no significant difference in outcomes between intervention hospitals that received rural trauma team training and implementation and control hospitals that did not receive such training. The results indicated a notable reduction in prehospital time and all-cause mortality by more than 50% in the intervention group, while also not demonstrating any deterioration in patient-reported trauma morbidity, as assessed by the Glasgow Coma Scale and Trauma Outcome Measure scores.

Therefore, the level II prognostic evidence derived from this trial suggests that locally contextualized, trainee-led rural trauma team development intervention programs are both feasible and effective in enhancing clinical processes and improving patient outcomes within low- and middle-income contexts.
