Evaluating TRISS for predicting outcomes in trauma patients
Evaluating the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) as a Predictor of Patient Outcomes: A Prospective Observational Study in the Trauma and Emergency Department of Al-Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital, Iraq
This study is testing if the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) can help doctors predict survival and recovery outcomes for trauma patients coming into the emergency department.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to assess the effectiveness of the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) in predicting survival and mortality outcomes among trauma patients admitted to the emergency department of Kadhimiya Educational Hospital in Iraq. Participants will be evaluated using the TRISS score upon admission, and their clinical outcomes, including survival rates, need for intensive care, surgical interventions, and length of hospital stay, will be monitored throughout their hospitalization. The study seeks to determine how accurately TRISS can predict these outcomes and improve the management of trauma cases.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are trauma patients admitted to the emergency department with complete physiological and anatomical data for TRISS calculation.
Not a fit: Patients under 18 years, pregnant women, or those with non-trauma-related conditions will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the accuracy of trauma patient assessments, leading to improved patient outcomes and resource allocation in emergency care.
How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown that trauma scoring systems like TRISS can effectively predict outcomes, suggesting that this approach has been validated in similar contexts.
Eligibility criteria
Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Trauma patients admitted to the emergency department of Al-Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital. * Patients with adequate documentation of physiological and anatomical data are required for TRISS calculation. * Trauma scoring (TRISS) completed within the first 6 hours of hospital arrival to ensure timely assessment. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients under 18 years, pregnant women, or those with conditions that alter standard trauma scoring or management. * Non-trauma cases (e.g., medical emergencies, terminal illnesses) to ensure focus on trauma-specific outcomes. * Patients with incomplete or missing data required for TRISS calculation. * Patients declared dead on arrival or those not treated in the trauma and emergency department. * Individuals refusing participation or withdrawing consent at any stage of the study. * Patients transferred to or from another facility or enrolled in other studies that might affect scoring accuracy or outcomes.
