Comparison of the BIG Score and the Pediatric Trauma Score
Starting soon
Conditions studied: Pediatric Trauma Patients
In brief
The goal of this observational study is to evaluate and compare the predictive performance of the BIG Score and the Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS) in predicting mortality among pediatric trauma patients presenting to the emergency department. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the BIG Score accurately predict mortality in pediatric trauma patients? Is the Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS) effective in predicting mortality among pediatric trauma patients? Which scoring system demonstrates better sensitivity, specificity, and overall predictive accuracy for mortality? Researchers will compare the BIG Score with the Pediatric Trauma Score to determine which scoring system provides superior prognostic value in pediatric trauma cases. Participants will: Undergo routine clinical assessment upon admission to the emergency department. Have vital signs, Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), and trauma-related clinical parameters recorded. Undergo laboratory investigations including Base Deficit and International Normalized Ratio (INR). Be followed during hospitalization to assess outcomes, including survival or mortality.
