ABSTRACT
[Abstract] It is the key to assess the severity of trauma early and accurately for the successful treatment of thoracic trauma. Thoracic trauma scoring is a method of using digital quantitative scoring to record the severity, characteristics, outcome and prognosis of thoracic trauma in a quantitative or semi-quantitative way. The purpose of scoring is to evaluate the severity of trauma, select the optimal treatment means, improve the prognosis and thereby improve the survival rate of patients. This article mainly introduces the methodology, application scope, clinical application status of seven civilian thoracic trauma scoring systems(thoracic organ injury scaling, blast lung injury severity score, penetrating thoracic trauma index, penetrating thoracic trauma course score, rib fracture scoring, rib score, thoracic trauma severity), and the present situation, characteristics and differences between the scores of modern war chest trauma and those of peacetime chest trauma, and puts forward the future exploration direction of thoracic trauma scoring on the battlefield.
