If there is no trauma centre nearby (not sure how they define "close") then serious trauma is more likely to result in death. That alone will explain some of the discrepancy between the 15% and 37% figures. More relevant would be to know how many of the trauma cases occur in those areas (and how they define "close") as this would be a better indicator of demand that the deaths (which are an end result).
