Προβλεπτική αξία συστημάτων εκτίμησης βαρύτητας τραύματος όσον αφορά την θνησιμότητα των πολυτραυματιών
Translated title:
Predictive value of trauma severity scores assessing mortality in multiple trauma patients
Summary:
Introduction: Trauma is globally one of the leading causes of death. The use of
scientific means of evaluating the severity of trauma is important both in prevention
and in reducing mortality of trauma patients.
Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the various Trauma Severity Scores and to
suggest the most reliable in predicting mortality of trauma patients.
Methodology: A search was performed in PUBMED. Key words used were injury
severity score, revised trauma score, TRISS, trauma, polytrauma patients, mortality.
Five studies were included in the study.
Results: The results of our review suggest that the TRISS score is predicting very
well mortality among multi-trauma patients. In general factors as age >60, length of
stay >48h, GCS <8, ISS>15, RTS<7.6 and TRISS<0.9 were associated with increased
mortality. While it was found that the NISS scale identifies better the cases that will
need admission to an intensive care unit.
Conclusion: The present study highlighted the TRISS scale as the best scale for
assessing mortality in multiple trauma patients.
