What this Trial Is About
The goal of this prospective observational study is to evaluate the predictive utility of the New Injury Severity Score (NISS) in determining mortality outcomes among blunt trauma patients admitted to the Emergency Department of Kadhimiya Educational Hospital, Iraq. The main questions it aims to answer are: How accurately does NISS predict mortality in blunt trauma patients? What is the performance of NISS in predicting secondary outcomes, such as the need for intensive care and length of hospital stay? Participants will: Be assessed using the NISS score upon their admission to the emergency department. Have their clinical outcomes, including mortality, need for intensive care, and hospital stay, monitored throughout their hospitalization.
