Comparing trauma scores in Tunisian intensive care patients
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks back at adults who were in the intensive care unit in Tunisia because of a physical injury. It compares three scoring systems to see which one best predicts how well trauma patients do, which could help doctors improve care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years of age or older.
- You must have had a recent physical injury caused by an accident or violence (like a car crash, fall, or wound).
- That injury must be the main reason you needed intensive care (ICU) right after the injury.
- Your first ICU stay for this injury must have happened between January 2018 and December 2025.
- You cannot have only burns, inhalation injuries, drowning, hanging, poisoning, or electrical/chemical injuries without a blunt or penetrating injury.
- Your ICU admission must not have been for a medical condition where the injury was just a side note.

This trial tests a computer system that helps doctors make decisions about trauma care. It looks at whether the system can improve care for patients with serious injuries in the Emergency Department.
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 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.
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.
