Summary

This study compares two scoring systems, MGAP and GAP, to see which better predicts outcomes like death, hospital stay length, and need for surgery in people with multiple injuries. About 522 adults with trauma will be scored when they arrive at the emergency department, and their progress will be tracked. The goal is to find a more accurate way to quickly assess how serious a patient's condition is.
