NCT ID NCT06711536
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study checked how well the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) predicts survival and the need for intensive care or surgery in 204 trauma patients at one hospital in Iraq. Researchers measured the score within 6 hours of arrival and tracked outcomes. The goal is to see if this scoring system, already used elsewhere, works accurately in this region.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that TRISS works well in Iraq, helping doctors there predict outcomes and make faster decisions for trauma patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-hospital study with 204 patients, so results may not apply to all trauma settings. The score is a tool, not a treatment, so it won't directly save lives.

Who is studied
The study population will consist of trauma patients presenting to the Emergency Department of Al-Kadhmia Teaching Hospital during the study period. These patients represent a diverse demographic and clinical profile, encompassing individuals with varying injury mechanisms, severities, and outcomes. The study specifically targets patients for whom trauma scoring systems, including the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS), can be applied reliably. This includes both blunt and penetrating trauma cases.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Trauma patients admitted to the emergency department of Al-Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital. * Patients with adequate documentation of physiological and anatomical data are required for TRISS calculation. * Trauma scoring (TRISS) completed within the first 6 hours of hospital arrival to ensure timely assessment. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients under 18 years, pregnant women, or those with conditions that alter standard trauma scoring or management. * Non-trauma cases (e.g., medical emergencies, terminal illnesses) to ensure focus on trauma-specific outcomes. * Patients with incomplete or missing data required for TRISS calculation. * Patients declared dead on arrival or those not treated in the trauma and emergency department. * Individuals refusing participation or withdrawing consent at any stage of the study. * Patients transferred to or from another facility or enrolled in other studies that might affect scoring accuracy or outcomes.
