Testing a new injury scoring system for blunt trauma patients
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a blunt injury (like from a car crash, fall, or hit by an object).
- You are 18 years or older and not pregnant.
- You arrived at the ER alive and received active treatment.
- You do not have a long-term illness that could change how doctors score your injuries.
- You were not treated at another hospital first or transferred between facilities.
- Doctors are able to check your injuries and calculate a score within the first 6 hours.

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 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 study is testing a new way to check how serious chest injuries from blunt force (like car crashes) are in the emergency room. It may help doctors quickly decide what care you need.
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 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.
