This study looks at how well a clinician’s rating scale (a questionnaire-based score) matches patients’ symptoms after a traumatic event. It may help improve how quickly and accurately symptoms are tracked in the days after trauma.
This study is testing a new way to quickly predict the risk of death after a serious injury. Researchers want to see if a simpler scoring method (the New Trauma Score) works as well or better than the current standard. If you come to the emergency department with a traumatic injury, this study may help improve how doctors predict outcomes.
This trial tests whether a regional trauma care system improves outcomes for people with severe injuries. You may be eligible if you arrive quickly after a serious trauma and meet the severity criteria.
