Example

Mechanism
Blunt
Revised Trauma Score
6
Injury Severity Score
25
Age
60

Result: TRISS probability of survival 65.8% (blunt mechanism; RTS 6, ISS 25, age >= 55).

What you enter

  • Mechanism
  • Revised Trauma Score
  • Injury Severity Score
  • Age (years)
How this is calculated
Model
Ps = 1/(1 + e^-b), b = b0 + b1*RTS + b2*ISS + b3*AgeIndex (AgeIndex 0 if age < 55, 1 if >= 55). Blunt and penetrating coefficient sets.
Inputs
coded Revised Trauma Score (0 to 7.8408) and Injury Severity Score from the live iss-rts tool; mechanism selects the coefficient set.
