To compare the predictive accuracy of trauma scoring systems for mortality and ICU admission in polytrauma patients.
Conducted a prospective observational study at Shahid Rahnamoon University Hospital, Yazd, Iran.
Included consecutive multiple trauma patients admitted to surgical wards or the ICU.
Collected demographic and clinical data upon admission and calculated trauma scores according to guidelines.
Evaluated prognostic accuracy using sensitivity, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) analysis.
769 patients were included with a mean age of 32.3 years and a mortality rate of 10.8%.
GCS was the most accurate scoring tool with an AUC of 0.912 for mortality and 0.947 for ICU admission.
RTS, ISS, and TRISS showed lower AUC values for predicting mortality and ICU admission, with GCS outperforming them.
