Comparing two injury scoring systems in children
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two scoring systems (BIG Score and Pediatric Trauma Score) that doctors use to assess how serious a child's injury is. The trial aims to see which scoring system better predicts outcomes for injured children treated in the emergency department.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child patient aged from birth to 16 years old
- Injury happened within the last 24 hours before arriving at the emergency department
- Injury is serious enough that the child needs hospital care (not minor injuries treated and sent home)
- Child came directly to this hospital's emergency department (not transferred from another hospital)
- Legal guardian or parent stays with the child throughout the hospital stay and agrees to treatment

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 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.
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 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 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.
