Conditions
Summary
The goal of this prospective cohort study is to compare the predictive accuracy of the MGAP and GAP trauma scores in determining the prognosis of multiple trauma patients admitted to the emergency department at Al-Kadhimiya Teaching Hospital, Iraq. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the MGAP score provide a more accurate prediction of outcomes compared to the GAP score? Are there specific subgroups of trauma patients where one score demonstrates superior predictive utility over the other? Participants will: Be assessed using both the MGAP and GAP scores upon admission to the emergency department. Have their clinical outcomes, including mortality, length of stay, and need for surgery, tracked throughout their hospital stay.
