Abstract:

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the accuracy of the MGAP score and its components in prediction of in-hospital mortality versus the accuracy of the Revised trauma score RTS in Emergency department. This study included 220 patients; all were polytrauma patients subjected to Blunt and Penetrating trauma including head injuries. Mortality rate in low risk group according to MGAP and RTS scores was (8.5% and 1% respectively) it was significant (p=0.01), in moderate risk group (47.7% and 66.3% respectively) it was significant (p=0.04).

Keywords:
