Background: In this prospective study, the TRISS methodology is used to compare trauma care at a university hospital (Lokmanya Tilak Municipal General (LTMG) Hospital) in Mumbai, India, with the standards reported in the Major Trauma Outcome Study (MTOS).
Methods: Between 1 August 2001 and 31 May 2002, 1074 severely injured patients were included in the study. Survival analysis was completed for 98.3% of the patients.
Results: The majority of the patients were men (84%) and the average age was 31 years. 90.4% were blunt injuries, with road traffic crashes (39.2%) being the most common cause. The predicted mortality was 10.89% and the observed mortality was 21.26%. The mean Revised Trauma Score (RTS) was 6.61 +/- 1.65 and the mean Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 16.7 +/- 10.67. The average probability of survival (Ps) was 89.14. The M and Z statistics were 0.84 and -14.1593, respectively.
Conclusion: The injured in India were found to be older, the injuries more severe and with poorer outcomes, than in the MTOS study.

Quality of pediatric trauma care: development of an age-adjusted TRISS model and survival benchmarking in a major trauma center.

Faculty of Health, Universidad del Valle, Cali, Colombia.
Background: Pediatric trauma is a major global health concern, accounting for a substantial proportion of deaths and disease burden from age 5 onwards. Effective triage and management are essential in pediatric trauma care, and prediction models such as the Trauma Injury Severity Score (TRISS) play a crucial role in estimating survival probability and guiding quality improvement. However, TRISS does not account for age-specific factors in pediatric populations, limiting its applicability to younger patients.

Background: Most trauma occurs among young male subjects in Qatar. We examined the predictive values of the delta shock index (DSI), defined as the change in the shock index (SI) value from the scene to the initial reading in the emergency unit (, subtracting the calculated SI at admission from SI at the scene), at a Level 1 trauma center.
Aim: To explore whether high DSI is associated with severe injuries, more interventions, and worse outcomes [, blood transfusion, exploratory laparotomy, ventilator-associated pneumonia, hospital length of stay (HLOS), and in-hospital mortality] in trauma patients.

Objective: The number of patients during disastrous conditions was high, and triage is essential. In chaotic circumstances, orthopedic surgeons can also struggle with patient selection, not only for surgical selection but also for the necessity of hospitalization. So, the performance of the Injury Severity Score, New Injury Severity Score, and Trauma and Injury Severity Score was compared in victims who were struck under the wreckage and had fractures due to the Kahramanmaras Earthquake.

Background: The Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) method is a widely used tool for assessing patient severity and predicting survival probability in trauma care. However, its accuracy and applicability in the Korean context, particularly for neurotrauma patients, have not been thoroughly validated yet. Previous studies at a single institution have identified significant discrepancies between TRISS predictions and actual outcomes, particularly in severe neurotrauma cases.

Article Synopsis
- In developing countries, trauma is a leading cause of death, with increasing vehicle-related injuries prompting the need for effective trauma scoring systems to predict patient outcomes.
- A study conducted at Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences assessed 204 patients aged over 18 with chest and abdominal trauma, focusing on their care and diagnostic procedures before treatment.
- Results showed a significant male predominance among patients, with automobile accidents being the most common cause of injuries, highlighting the statistical relevance of various trauma scoring systems in predicting mortality and morbidity.
