Intermountain Risk Score and Trauma

NCT02011412 | Completed

• 1 other identifier: 1024710
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 400
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The investigators hypothesize that a risk score composed of age, sex, and the components of commonly ordered laboratory panels will be predictive of mortality in trauma patients, and will help improve clinicians' ability to make more accurate mortality predictions at the time of admission.

Conditions

Trauma; Injury

Keywords

Trauma; Scoring Systems; Intermountain Risk Score

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• all cause mortality

  To determine whether the Intermountain Risk Score accurately predicts 30 day mortality and one year mortality in trauma patients.

  30 days

• all cause mortality

  measure the ability of the Intermountain Risk Score to predict all cause mortality at one year after the traumatic event

  1 year

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• experienced clinicians mortality prediction

  30 days

• Experienced Clinicians' mortality prediction

  1 year

Study Arms (2)

Intermountain Risk Score known

Intermountain Risk Score Unknown

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 18 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
• Sampling Method: Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Individuals who suffer from a traumatic injury and present to the Emergency Department as a Trauma Activation

You may qualify if:

• Patient presents to Intermountain Medical Center as a Level I or Level II trauma activation.
• Age ≥18

You may not qualify if:

• Patients who are not admitted to the hospital
• Patients who expire in the Emergency Department
• Patients who are discharged to home from the Emergency Department
• Patients who do not have a complete blood count and basic metabolic profile drawn in the Emergency Department as part of routine clinical care.
• Patients who enter the hospital as "trauma consults." These patients have traumatic injuries, and are often admitted to the trauma service, but the severity of their trauma is not thought to warrant trauma team activation.
