Background The objective of this study is to propose three new adjustments to the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) equation and compare their performances with the original TRISS as well as this index with coefficients adjusted for the study population. Methods This multicenter, retrospective study evaluated trauma victims admitted to two hospitals in São Paulo-Brazil and San Diego-EU...

BACKGROUND Prediction of mortality in trauma patients is an important part of trauma care. Trauma scoring systems are the current methods used for prediction of mortality. We aimed to evaluate and compare the performances of Injury Severity Score (ISS) and New Injury Severity Score (NISS) in firearm injuries. METHODS Records of 135 firearm-injured patients who applied to Uludag University Eme...

Objective Identify studies that made adjustments to the equation of Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) and compared the discriminatory ability of both modified and original equations. Method An integrative review of studies published between 1990 and 2014 using the following databases: LILACS, MEDLINE, PubMed and SciELO, based on searches using the term "TRISS". Results 32 studies were in...

OBJECTIVE Trauma Score-Injury Severity Score (TRISS) is one of the most universally deployed scores. It is based on both the physiologic Revised Trauma Score (RTS) and anatomic Injury Severity Score (ISS). The purpose of the present study was to validate the accuracy of the TRISS methodology to predict survival of admitted trauma patients at Siriraj Hospital when compared with the actual mortal...

Background: In this study, we used the anatomic scoring system Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) to calculate Severity Score (ISS) and physiological for Revised Trauma (RTS) on arrival of patients. Both scores were (TRISS) predicting patient outcome in a case trauma. Methods: This prospective, cross-sectional, observational study was carried out at trauma centre tertiary care institute included pa...

OBJECTIVE To measure interobserver variation in recording injury from case notes and its effect on calculating injury severity scores (ISS) from identical data and predicting probabilities of survival by using the combined trauma and injury severity score (TRISS). DESIGN Observer variation study using injury severity scoring and subsequent calculation of probability of survival based on combi...

OBJECTIVE To report trauma outcome from a developing country based on the Trauma and Injury Severity Scoring (TRISS) method and compare the outcome with the registry data from Major Trauma Outcome Study (MTOS). DESIGN Registry based audit of all trauma patients over two years. SETTING Emergency room of a teaching university hospital. SUBJECTS 279 injured patients meeting trauma team activ...

Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) models have been developed for predicting the survival probability of injured patients the majority of which obtain up to three injuries in six body regions. Practitioners have noted that the accuracy of TRISS predictions is unacceptable for patients with a larger number of injuries. Moreover, the TRISS method is incapable of providing accurate estimates...

Introduction: Trauma is a major health problem worldwide. Prediction of probability of survival in trauma patients is a basic requirement for evaluation of trauma care. Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) is used for scoring injury severity and have been suggested as a measure of the quality of trauma care. Objective: The Objective of the study is to determine mortality, morbidity, hospita...

The objective of this study was to verify if replacing the Injury Severity Score (ISS) by the New Injury Severity Score (NISS) in the original Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) form would improve the survival rate estimation. This retrospective study was performed in a level I trauma center during one year. ROC curve was used to identify the best indicator (TRISS or NTRISS) for survival ...
