Validation of age-specific survival prediction in pediatric patients with blunt trauma using trauma and injury severity score methodology: a ten-year Nationwide observational study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In-hospital mortality in trauma patients has decreased recently owing to improved trauma injury prevention systems. However, no study has evaluated the validity of the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) in pediatric patients by a detailed classification of patients' age and injury severity in Japan. This retrospective nationwide study evaluated the validity of TRISS in predicting survival in Japanese pediatric patients with blunt trauma by age and injury severity.

Methods

Data were obtained from the Japan Trauma Data Bank during 2009-2018. The outcomes were as follows: (1) patients' characteristics and mortality by age groups (neonates/infants aged 0 years, preschool children aged 1-5 years, schoolchildren aged 6-11 years, and adolescents aged 12-18 years),
