Can trauma scores help predict survival after multiple injuries?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years old.
- You have serious injuries from an accident or violence (this includes both blunt trauma like falls or car crashes, and penetrating trauma like stabbings or gunshots).
- You are male or female.
- You are not pregnant.
- You do not have only minor injuries like small cuts, bruises, or a broken bone in just one arm or leg.
- You have not been moved to another hospital and your follow-up care can be completed at this hospital.

This trial studies how well the Kampala Trauma Score predicts recovery in adults with multiple serious injuries. It may help doctors better understand your condition and plan your 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 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 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 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.
