Evaluating the New Trauma Score (NTS) for Improved Mortality Prediction

The goal of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the predictive accuracy of the New Trauma Score (NTS), a modification of the Revised Trauma Score (RTS), in determining mortality outcomes among trauma patients admitted to the emergency department at Al-Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital, Iraq. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the NTS provide a more accurate prediction of mortality than the RTS? Are there specific subgroups of trauma patients where the NTS demonstrates superior predictive utility compared to the RTS? Participants will: Be assessed using both the NTS and RTS upon admission to the emergency department. Have their clinical outcomes, including mortality, tracked throughout their hospital stay.
