Intermountain Risk Score and Trauma

Completed

Conditions studied: Trauma, Injury

In brief

The investigators hypothesize that a risk score composed of age, sex, and the components of commonly ordered laboratory panels will be predictive of mortality in trauma patients, and will help improve clinicians' ability to make more accurate mortality predictions at the time of admission.
