Using the GTOS to Stratify the Mortality Risk of Adult Trauma Patients

Chang Gung Memorial Hospital40,068 enrolled

Overview

Trauma significantly impacts both short- and long-term health outcomes, resulting in substantial mortality. Early identification and risk stratification in trauma patients are crucial for timely medical interventions. The Geriatric Trauma Outcome Score (GTOS), designed by incorporating age, the Injury Severity Score (ISS), and the need for packed red blood cell transfusion, has emerged as a valuable prognostic tool for elderly trauma patients, but its applicability to general trauma patients remains underexplored.
