ABSTRACT
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE:
In our study, it was aimed to compare the power of trauma scores (Glasgow Coma Score, Revised Trauma Score, Abbreviated Injury Scale, Injury Severity Score, and Trauma Score-Injury Severity Score) in order to predict mortality in patients with geriatric trauma and to determine the predictive values of these scores in mortality.METHODS:
Demographic data, clinical features, etiological causes, laboratory results, and trauma scores of the patients were statistically analyzed. SPSS 20 for Windows was used for this evaluation.RESULTS:
It was determined that as the Glasgow Coma Score value of the patients increased, the Abbreviated Injury Scale and Injury Severity Score scores decreased and the Trauma Score-Injury Severity Score score increased. Abbreviated Injury Scale and Injury Severity Score values increased and Revised Trauma Score and Trauma Score-Injury Severity Score values decreased as the lactate levels of the patients increased. It was determined that the Abbreviated Injury Scale and Injury Severity Score scores of the patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit were significantly higher, while their Trauma Score-Injury Severity Score scores were lower.CONCLUSION:
Glasgow Coma Score, Revised Trauma Score, Trauma Score-Injury Severity Score, Abbreviated Injury Scale, and Injury Severity Score scores and blood lactate levels are important parameters that can be used in the emergency department for the early detection of high-risk patients in geriatric trauma and the evaluation of the prognosis of geriatric trauma patients.
