Summary

This study checks how well a tool called the STUMBL score predicts serious outcomes like death or ICU need in people with blunt chest injuries (from car crashes or falls). About 188 adults in Iraq will be scored when they arrive at the ER, and their results will be tracked. The goal is to see if this simple score works well in hospitals with limited resources.

Who is studied

The study will include adult patients (18 years and older) presenting to the emergency department at Al-Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital, Baghdad, with blunt thoracic trauma. Participants will be assessed based on injury mechanisms such as motor vehicle accidents, falls, or direct impacts, along with the severity of the trauma. Both male and female patients, regardless of comorbidities, will be included to evaluate the STUMBL score's applicability across different demographics and clinical profiles.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients presenting to the emergency department with blunt thoracic trauma (e.g., motor vehicle accidents, falls, or direct impacts to the chest). * Patients who present within 4 hours of sustaining the injury. * Patients or their legal guardians must provide informed consent to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with penetrating chest trauma (e.g., stab wounds, gunshot wounds). * Patients with other life-threatening injuries that overshadow the thoracic trauma (e.g., head or abdominal trauma). * Pregnant women due to potential risks related to radiation or certain diagnostic procedures. * Pediatric patients under 18 years of age. * Patients with a history of major thoracic surgery (e.g., prior lung or heart surgery) that may interfere with the assessment of trauma severity.
