Key Points

The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of various prognostic scores in predicting in-hospital mortality in trauma patients.
Single-center retrospective cohort study of trauma patients in a tertiary ED from January 2022 to January 2025.
Comparative analysis of lactate-to-albumin ratio, Shock Index, and Injury Severity Score.
Discrimination assessed via area under the ROC curve and pairwise comparisons using DeLong tests.
Total of 4,942 patients were analyzed with an in-hospital mortality rate of 3.1%.
Injury Severity Score demonstrated superior predictive performance compared to Shock Index and lactate-to-albumin ratio.
AUC for in-hospital mortality was 0.851 for ISS, compared to 0.757 for SI and 0.763 for LAR.

We only have this paper's title and publication details.

Retrospective cohort analysis demonstrates that Injury Severity Score is superior in predicting in-hospital mortality in trauma patients.
