Key Points

This research aims to assess the predictive value of different trauma scoring systems on mortality and intensive care outcomes.
Comparative analysis of ISS, GCS, and RTS scoring systems
Assessment of predictive accuracy for mortality and ICU outcomes
Data collection from trauma patients in central Iran
ISS demonstrated the highest predictive accuracy for mortality, ICU admission, and prolonged ICU stay
Both GCS and RTS were also clinically useful, but less accurate than ISS
ISS is recommended for well-equipped centers, while GCS and RTS are suitable for resource-limited settings.

Abstract

ISS exhibited superior predictive accuracy for mortality, ICU admission, and prolonged ICU stay compared with GCS and RTS. All three systems proved clinically useful, with ISS recommended for well-equipped trauma centers and GCS/RTS for rapid triage in resource-limited settings.
