A retrospective study on evaluating GAP, MGAP, RTS and ISS trauma scoring system for the prediction of mortality among multiple trauma patients.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Predicting the outcome of trauma helps clinician to prioritize patients and provide timely and effective treatment. Several scoring systems are implemented to predict prognosis and mortality among these patients. Our study aims to use four scoring systems to predict mortality among multiple trauma patients.

Methods

In retrospective descriptive study, the data was collected from records of (XXX) of multiple trauma patients referred to the hospital from June 2019-January 2020. The patients were scored using four scoring systems: MGAP (mechanism, Glasgow coma scale, age, and arterial pressure), GAP (Glasgow coma scale, age, and arterial pressure), ISS (injury severity score) and RTS (revised trauma score).

Results

The mean age of the patients was 37.4 ± 4.2 ye
