Comparing a new injury severity score to older methods
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares a new way of measuring how severe multiple injuries are (the EISS score) with two older methods (ISS and NISS). It aims to see if the EISS score is better at predicting outcomes for people with injuries in more than one body area.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been injured in more than one area of your body (not just a single injury).
- You do not have a long-term disease that is in its final stages.
- You agree to take part in the study.

This trial looks at patterns of injuries in children under 18 to find out why some injuries are more serious and how to improve care. Data from trauma patients will be studied to predict injury severity.
This study compares two ways of measuring how serious an injury is (NISS and ISS) to see which one better predicts if a trauma patient will survive. It may help doctors make faster, more accurate decisions in the emergency room.
Researchers want to see if certain injury scores can predict how well trauma patients will do. You may be asked to join this study if you come to the emergency room with an injury and agree to have your scores calculated.
This study is testing how well a new scoring system (called NISS) measures the severity of injuries after a blunt trauma, like a car crash or fall. By using this score soon after you arrive, doctors hope to better predict your recovery and care needs.
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 study looks at two scoring systems, the Revised Trauma Score and the Glasgow Coma Scale, to see how well they predict survival in people with serious injuries from accidents or violence. If you are over 18 and have been treated for multiple serious injuries, this research might help doctors better understand your chances of recovery.
