Understanding what affects survival after severe belly injury
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at patients with severe injuries to the belly area to find out which factors affect whether they survive their hospital stay. The goal is to improve care for people with these serious injuries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 16 years old or older.
- You must have an injury to the belly area (abdomen) that is severe—either from a hard blow (blunt) or a penetrating wound (like a stab).
- This injury must be bad enough to require emergency surgery, a procedure to stop bleeding, or admission to the intensive care unit (ICU).
- You must come to the hospital within 24 hours after the injury.
- You must not be pregnant (or if you are, you cannot join this trial).

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.
This study looks at alcohol, drug use, and painkiller use in people with a penetrating abdominal injury (like a stab or gunshot wound to the belly). It aims to understand how these substances affect patient outcomes.
This study is testing a new scoring system to predict which severely injured patients might develop dangerous drops in blood pressure shortly after arriving at the emergency room. By using simple checks like heart rate, blood tests, and an ultrasound, doctors hope to identify high-risk patients earlier so they can act faster.
This study looks at how well an abdominal ultrasound test (FAST) works for children who come to the emergency department after a serious blunt injury to the belly or torso. The goal is to help doctors find dangerous internal bleeding or organ injury quickly and safely.
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.
This study looks at adults and teens who had emergency abdominal surgery to understand their recovery and improve care. It may help future patients by identifying what works best and where improvements are needed.
