Comparing the New Exponential Injury Severity Score (EISS) With the Injury Severity Score (ISS) and the New Injury Severity Score (NISS) in Polytrauma Patients for Survival Prediction and ICU Admission in Assiut University Hospitals

What this Trial Is About

This research aims to compare three methods for assessing injury severity in patients with polytrauma, which means having multiple serious injuries in different body areas. Trauma is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, especially among young and middle-aged people. The study focuses on evaluating a newer scoring system called the Exponential Injury Severity Score (EISS) against the traditional Injury Severity Score (ISS) and New Injury Severity Score (NISS) to better predict survival and intensive care needs. The study observes trauma patients admitted to Assiut University Hospitals, particularly those with multiple injuries. It analyzes how well each scoring system identifies patients at risk of death within 30 days, admission to intensive care, hospital admission on the day of injury, and emergency department readmissions within 72 hours and 30 days. No treatments or interventions are administered as it is an observational study. Participants will be monitored through hospital records and clinical data to assess outcomes such as mortality and ICU admission rates. Researchers will review the accuracy of each scoring method in predicting these outcomes. The study is open to adults aged 18 to 80 years with multiple trauma and will run until November 2025. Data collection focuses on patient injury severity and survival tracking over time.
