All persons involved in an avalanche and from whom medical (or paramedic) examination is available are prospectively included in the North Alpine Avalanche Registry (RENAAV). The RENAAV is a prospective multicentre registry. It collects data about all avalanche victims managed by medical mountain rescue teams in Northern French-Alps Emergency Network (RENAU). Nine hospitals of the Rhône-Alps region participated: Annecy Hospital, Albertville Hospital, Briançon Hospital, Bourg-Saint-Maurice Hospital, Chambéry Hospital, Grenoble University Hospital, Sallanches Hospital, Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne Hospital, and Gap Hospital. This registry contributes to improve the quality of advanced medical care for the victims. A person was considered to be involved in an avalanche when he or she was in direct contact with the avalanche or its snow spray. All French speaking adults included in the RENAAV between 01 December 2014 and 31 May 2018 were eligible to the study.
