TASH Score (massive transfusion probability)

TASH score (Yucel 2006): predicts the probability of mass transfusion after severe trauma from hemoglobin, base excess, hemodynamics, FAST, and injury pattern.

Example

Hemoglobin
9.5
Base excess
-7
Systolic BP
95
Heart rate
130
Positive FAST
Yes

Result: TASH score 16: ~47.5% probability of mass transfusion.

What the result means

Probability
P(mass transfusion) = 1/(1 + e^-x), x = -4.9 + 0.3*TASH (~50% near a score of 16). The continuous companion to the binary ABC rule.

What you enter

  • Hemoglobin (g/dL)
  • Base excess (mmol/L)
  • Systolic BP (mm Hg)
  • Heart rate (beats/min)
  • Positive FAST
  • Unstable pelvic fracture
  • Open or dislocated femur fracture
  • Male sex
How this is calculated
Points
Hb < 7/9/10/11/12 = 8/6/4/3/2; base excess < -10/-6/-2 = 4/3/1; SBP < 100/120 = 4/1; HR > 120 = 2; FAST +3; unstable pelvis +6; open/dislocated femur +3; male +1 (0-31).
