Pediatric trauma BIG score: predicting mortality in children after military and civilian trauma.
OBJECTIVE To develop a validated mortality prediction score for children with traumatic injuries. PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified all children (<18 years of age) in the US military established Joint Theater Trauma Registry from 2002 to 2009 who were admitted to combat-support hospitals with traumatic injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan.

A score of 3 or greater was shown to be highly accurate in predicting the need for laparotomy. We hypothesized that this scoring system might al...
