An observational study of Polytrauma Patients, run by Assiut University.
Trial summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the predictive value of the Kampala Trauma Score in Egypt. The main question it aims to answer is: How does the performance of the Kampala Trauma Score compare to the Estimated Injury Severity Score in predicting outcomes for multi-traumatic patients in Egypt?… Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Cmparison Between the Kampala Trauma Score and the Estimated Injury Severity Score in the Outcome of Polytrauma Patients in the Emergency Departments in Egypt.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the predictive value of the Kampala Trauma Score in Egypt.
The main question it aims to answer is:
How does the performance of the Kampala Trauma Score compare to the Estimated Injury Severity Score in predicting outcomes for multi-traumatic patients in Egypt? Participants are adult polytrauma patients admitted to the emergency department during the study period.
Read the detailed description
Two prominent scoring systems used in trauma care are the Kampala Trauma Score (KTS) and the Estimated Injury Severity Score (EISS). The KTS was specifically designed for use in low-resource settings, offering a practical tool for predicting patient outcomes based on readily available clinical data. This score integrates parameters such as age, systolic blood pressure, and Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores, making it suitable for environments where advanced diagnostic tools may be lacking. Previous research has demonstrated the KTS's utility in various resource-limited settings, highlighting its role in effectively stratifying trauma patients and guiding triage decisions.
In contrast, the Estimated Injury Severity Score (EISS) is an adaptation of the Injury Severity Score (ISS), which incorporates both clinical and radiographic data to assess trauma severity comprehensively. The EISS uses an estimated approach to account for the often incomplete or preliminary information available in some clinical settings, aiming to provide a robust prediction of patient outcomes. While it is a more comprehensive tool than the KTS, its reliance on advanced imaging and detailed clinical information may limit its applicability in settings with restricted resources.
This study aims to conduct a cross-sectional comparison of the KTS and EISS to evaluate their relative effectiveness in assessing trauma severity and predicting patient outcomes. The results will provide valuable insights into the optimal use of trauma scoring systems and potentially inform improvements in trauma care practices
