Predicting survival after injury using trauma scores
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older and not pregnant.
- You were brought to the emergency room because of an injury (not a medical illness).
- Your medical records have enough information to calculate injury severity scores.
- You or a legal guardian can give permission for you to be in the study.
- You are not already in another research study that might affect trauma scoring.

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 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.
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 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 study tests two different scoring systems (TTSS and TISS) to see which better predicts recovery in people with chest injuries like broken ribs, lung bruises, or collapsed lungs. Doctors use these scores soon after you arrive to guide treatment and predict how you'll do.
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.
