Using a trauma score to predict recovery from multiple injuries
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a simple scoring system (the Kampala Trauma Score) can predict how well patients recover after serious injuries to multiple parts of the body. It may help doctors plan care better for people with polytrauma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Must be 18 years or older
- Must have been hospitalized for injuries to more than one part of the body

This study looks at how well two scoring systems (Revised Trauma Score and Glasgow Coma Scale) can predict the risk of death in people with severe injuries from accidents or violence. It aims to help doctors identify who needs the most intensive care.
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 compares two simple scoring tools (MGAP and GAP) to see which better predicts outcomes in people with injuries to more than one body area. If you or a loved one has multiple traumatic injuries and arrives at the ER within 6 hours, this trial may help improve how doctors assess care.
This trial compares two scoring systems (RTS and MGAP) to see which one better predicts recovery, need for intensive care, or complications in people who arrive at the hospital within 6 hours of a traumatic injury.
This study compares three different scoring systems (EMTRAS, REMS, and GAP) used to quickly assess how severe a trauma injury is. The goal is to see which score works best at predicting outcomes, which could help doctors make faster decisions.
This trial collects information from people with multiple injuries (multiple trauma) to see how their ability to move affects their chances of survival. It may help doctors understand which treatments work best for recovery.
