Belly injury severity score for blunt trauma
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at a new scoring system called BATSS to help doctors quickly tell how serious a belly injury is after a blunt force. If you come to the ER with such an injury, the score may help guide your care and predict how you will do.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older.
- You had a blunt injury to your belly (like from a car crash or a fall).
- You came to the hospital within 24 hours of the injury.
- You had an ultrasound exam (called FAST) as part of your first checks.
