STUMBL vs TTSS in Predicting Morbidity and Mortality of Blunt Chest Trauma
Sponsor: Assiut University
Summary
This study aim to compare the effectiveness of the STUMBL Score and the Thoracic Trauma Severity Score (TTSS) in predicting morbidity and mortality in patients with blunt chest wall trauma, and to evaluate which scoring system provides greater clinical utility for early risk stratification and management decisions.
