Predicting outcomes after blunt chest trauma
Part of Injuries & trauma, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study compares two methods to predict complications and survival in people with blunt chest trauma (like from a car crash or fall). It helps doctors identify who needs more monitoring.

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.
This study tests whether a scoring system (the Chest Trauma Score) can predict how well people do after blunt chest trauma. The goal is to improve care for patients in Iraq.
This trial compares chest ultrasound to chest X-ray for detecting injuries from blunt chest trauma, using CT scans as the gold standard. It aims to see if ultrasound can be a faster and safer option for diagnosis.
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 study looks at whether doing a whole-body CT scan in the emergency room can help identify adults who are at low risk after a road accident or fall. It may help doctors decide who can be managed with less intensive testing or monitoring.
This study looks at how to make a better decision tool for when to order a CT scan of the belly and pelvis after a blunt injury in the emergency department. It aims to help clinicians choose the right patients for imaging during the first evaluation.
