- The study evaluates the effectiveness of the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) in assessing severely injured patients in India, comparing the results to the Major Trauma Outcome Study (MTOS).
- It involved 300 trauma patients, finding that road traffic accidents were the leading cause, with 57 patients classified as severely injured (IS ≥ 16) and a higher observed mortality rate (33.3%) than predicted (15.7%).
- The study concluded that TRISS, which uses MTOS coefficients, does not accurately predict survival rates for trauma patients in developing countries like India, highlighting the need for a national trauma registry to create better scoring systems.
