Chest Trauma Scoring Systems as Predictors of Morbidity and Mortality in Iraq

Sponsor: Al-Nahrain University

Summary

This prospective observational study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of chest trauma scoring systems in predicting morbidity and mortality in patients with blunt chest trauma in Iraq. The primary questions it seeks to address are: How accurately do chest trauma scoring systems predict mortality and critical outcomes such as ICU admission or the need for advanced interventions? How well do these scoring systems stratify patients based on injury severity in a resource-limited setting? Are there any demographic or clinical factors that impact the predictive performance of these scoring systems? Participants will: Be assessed using chest trauma scoring systems upon arrival at the emergency department to determine risk levels. Have demographic and clinical data, including age, gender, injury mechanism, comorbidities, and length of hospital stay, collected to explore potential associations with outcomes.
