Trauma severity scoring to predict mortality

Champion, Howard R., Sacco, William J., Hunt, Thomas K.·1983·World Journal of Surgery

Abstract

The evaluation of the care of the multiple trauma patient requires indices that predict survival or death and that reveal the presence or absence of complications. This article reviews briefly the different scales that have been developed. It is concluded that both anatomic and physiologic injury scores are required. A methodology of patient care evaluation is then developed based upon preliminary method (PRE), a state transition screen (STS), and a definitive method (DEF). The preliminary method is illustrated by use of the Trauma Score and the Injury Severity Score to predict patient outcome. This is then compared with the actual patient outcome. The STS methodology reveals patients who are better or worse than expected in their course in the hospital. The DEF method is used for comparison between institutions or for different time periods at a given institution.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
