Comparing two injury severity scores for children
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two different scoring systems used in the emergency room to assess how severe a child's injury is. The goal is to see which score better helps doctors decide how to care for injured children.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children from birth up to 16 years old who have experienced an injury.
- Must arrive at the emergency room within 24 hours after the injury happens.
- The injury must be serious enough to require admission—not a minor injury that gets treated and sent home.
- Must not have received initial treatment at another hospital before coming here.
- The family must agree to stay until the medical team can collect the needed information (not leave against medical advice).

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 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.
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 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.
