TRISS Unexpected Survivors: An Outdated Standard?

Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, 1999
Performance improvement is an essential component of the trauma center. TRISS methodology has been applied as a national standard against which trauma centers can compare their outcomes. Earlier reviews of TRISS unexpected survivors sustained the classification of unexpected survivor in the vast majority of cases.

Injury scoring by TRISS and ISS/Age

Injury, 1991
Both the TRISS and ISS/Age methods have been used to assess the mortality results in a series of injured patients. Though observed survival was not significantly different from that expected using TRISS, the method seemed to place too great an emphasis on the initial clinical signs summarized in the RTS. In particular, early cardiovascular signs can be

LIMITATIONS OF THE TRISS METHOD FOR INTERHOSPITAL COMPARISONS

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1990
The value of the TRISS method for interhospital comparisons of trauma care was studied using data for 5,616 consecutive patients from three trauma centers and five community hospitals. Z-scores were used to compare mortality rates. Three limitations of the method were documented: 1) the lack of homogeneity within the patient subcategory of penetrating ...

Validity of Applying Adult TRISS Analysis to Injured Children

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1990
Injury severity measures are becoming increasingly important for quality assurance and injury research. TRISS analysis, which uses the Revised Trauma Score (RTS) and Injury Severity Score (ISS) to predict survival, is an effective tool for comparing outcomes between trauma centers.

Simplified Alternative to the TRISS Method for Resource‐Constrained Settings

World Journal of Surgery, 2010
AbstractBackgroundWe developed simple methods of risk adjustment for evaluating the quality of injury care (predicting survival probabilities of the injured) by fully utilizing routinely collected data in injury surveillance and clinical practices. Widely used methods of risk adjustment require additional data that are difficult to collect in resource ...

Trauma audit--the use of TRISS.

Health trends, 1988
The TRISS methodology for evaluating trauma care has been applied in two UK hospitals over a 12 month period. Unexpected deaths occurred in both hospitals and were related to delays in transport between hospitals. The delays were instigated by the receiving hospitals and never the despatching hospital.

TRISS UNEXPECTED SURVIVORS-A STATISTICAL PHENOMENON OR A CLINICAL REALITY?

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1992
Data from patients treated in Pennsylvania-accredited trauma centers during 1989 were analyzed. TRISS expected and unexpected survivors (1.6% of all survivors) differed in many ways. Unexpected survivors were more than twice as likely to have been transferred from a nondesignated trauma center (45.8% vs. 22.8%, p < 0.001).

A Simple Mathematical Modification of TRISS Markedly Improves Calibration

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 2002
TRISS has reigned as the preeminent trauma outcome prediction model for 20 years. Despite this endorsement, the calibration of TRISS has been poor in most data sets where it has been examined. We hypothesized that the lack of calibration of TRISS was because of the inappropriate mathematical specification of the model that TRISS is based on, rather ...

TRISS, Unmanned Deep Water Tower

Proceedings of Offshore Europe, 1989
ABSTRACT This paper describes the TRILITE Super Satellite Platform (TRISS), a light 3-legged cost-effective fixed jacket substructure concept supporting a simple topside facility intended for unmanned operation. An overall objective has been to develop a realistic alternative to sub-sea concepts in water depths down to app-rox.
