Implication

Prospective observational study demonstrates superior mortality prediction with TRISS in elderly trauma patients, indicating its high value for geriatric risk stratification.

Key Points

To compare the accuracy of the Injury Severity Score (ISS), New Injury Severity Score (NISS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS), and Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) in predicting mortality among geriatric trauma patients.
Conducted a prospective observational study of 200 elderly trauma patients admitted to JSS Hospital, Mysuru, over an 18-month period between December 2016 and May 2018.
Collected admission data to calculate ISS, NISS, RTS, and TRISS, evaluating and comparing predictive accuracies using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.
The overall cohort had a mean age of 66.35 years, road traffic accidents as the primary injury mechanism (94.0%), and an overall mortality rate of 17.0%.
TRISS was the strongest mortality predictor with an area under the ROC curve (AUROC) of 0.972 (cutoff 91.6, sensitivity 97%, specificity 88%), significantly outperforming NISS (AUROC 0.970, cutoff 17), ISS (AUROC 0.963, cutoff 15), and RTS (AUROC 0.947, cutoff 7.108; p < 0.0001).
