Abstract Trauma continues to represent one of the most important global public health challenges, contributing significantly to mortality, disability, and socioeconomic burden worldwide. Polytrauma patients often present with complex injury patterns involving multiple organ systems and severe physiological derangements, making early assessment and management extremely critical in emergency care settings. Accurate evaluation of injury severity is therefore essential for guiding clinical decision-making, prioritizing treatment, and predicting patient outcomes.
The present study was conducted to evaluate and compare the prognostic accuracy of these trauma scoring systems in predicting outcomes among polytrauma patients presenting to a tertiary care hospital.
The study demonstrated that trauma scoring systems showed a significant association with patient outcomes. Patients who expired had significantly higher anatomical severity scores such as ISS and NISS, whereas physiological scores such as RTS and combined scores such as TRISS were significantly lower among non-survivors. The findings indicate that trauma scoring systems are valuable tools for early assessment and risk stratification in polytrauma patients. The study concludes that combined scoring systems integrating both anatomical and physiological variables provide better predictive accuracy for mortality and can significantly aid clinical decision-making in tertiary trauma centers.
