New score for detecting belly injuries after blunt trauma
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether a new score (called STAR) can help doctors find internal belly injuries after a blunt injury to the abdomen. It may help you get a faster and more accurate diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old.
- You must have had blunt (not penetrating) force to your belly within the last 6 hours.
- You must be fully awake and alert (Glasgow Coma Scale score of 15).
- You cannot be pregnant or have had major abdominal surgery, pre-existing abdominal masses, or fluid buildup.
- You must not be on a breathing machine or receiving CPR when the initial assessment happens.

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 looks at whether a chest injury scoring system can predict how well patients with blunt chest trauma will do, including the risk of complications and death. It may help doctors in Iraq better identify who needs more intensive care.
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.
