Trauma rehabilitation outcome scoring

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2008
Appropriate measurements of success in trauma systems are evolving. We review the rationale behind prior trauma and rehabilitation outcomes measures, and how they have led to the current rehabilitation tools in use today. In addition, we review the difficulties with current methods and future improvements that need to occur.As medicine marches toward ...

The Ocular Trauma Score (OTS)

Ophthalmology Clinics of North America, 2002
Only based on a standardized terminology of ocular trauma terms, and using a very large number of injuries treated by a wide variety of ophthalmologists, could a reliable method be developed so that the functional outcome of a serious eye injury can be predicted with reasonable certainty.

Introduction of a novel trauma score

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 2012
Early diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and reliable prediction of outcome are essential for determining treatment strategies and allocating resources. This study introduces the Eppendorf-Cologne Scale (ECS) and evaluated its predictive accuracy for outcome and TBI presence compared with those of the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS).A retrospective ...

Emergency trauma score: An instrument for early estimation of trauma severity*

Critical Care Medicine, 2009
Early estimation of the mortality risk of severely injured patients is mandatory. To estimate the seriousness of the condition of patients with trauma, we developed the emergency trauma score (EMTRAS) for ease of use, with simple parameters that are available within 30 minutes.Prospective analysis of the German Trauma Registry of multitrauma patients ...

Scoring severity in trauma: comparison of prehospital scoring systems in trauma ICU patients

European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, 2016
We evaluated the predictive ability of mechanism, Glasgow coma scale, age and arterial pressure (MGAP), Glasgow coma scale, age and systolic blood pressure (GAP), and triage-revised trauma Score (T-RTS) scores in patients from the Spanish trauma ICU registry using the trauma and injury severity score (TRISS) as a reference standard.Patients admitted ...

Trauma scores and trauma outcome measures

Trauma, 2003
Objective measurement and quantification of injury severity are necessary for triage, performance evaluation and research. In order to evaluate interventions, outcomes must also be compared. While this can be done using hospital stay or mortality, these will fail to detect subtle differences.

The Predictive Validity of the Pediatric Trauma Score

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1987
The Pediatric Trauma Score was evaluated in 450 injured children by a paramedic in the field and a physician in an E.D. There was agreement between the scores of these two individuals 93.6% of the time, correlation coefficient 0.991, r2 = 0.982. Further testing at the 0.01 level of significance indicated that a positive association existed between ...

Trauma Score Systems

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1997
Most standard trauma score systems have been developed and validated in the United States. However, trauma differs between the United States and Germany. This prospective study tested the validity of eight current trauma scoring systems (Glasgow Coma Scale, Trauma Score, Revised Trauma Score, Injury Severity Score, TRISSTS, TRISSRTS, Prehospital Index,

Maxillofacial trauma scoring systems

Injury, 2016
The changing complexity of maxillofacial fractures in recent years has created a situation where classical systems of classification of maxillofacial injuries fall short of defining trauma particularly that observed with high-velocity collisions where more than one region of the maxillofacial skeleton is affected.
