Abstract

#Polytrauma incidence are increasing across the world, being a major contributing factor for hospitalization of individuals under 65 years of age, and resulting in high mortality rates . Not only does it cost up to 5% of the healthcare budget in some countries, perhaps even more important to the finances/economy is the reduction of capable workers . #Mortality of individuals under 65 years of age does not only impact a reduction in workforce but also leaves a burden on those that financial depended on them; especially their children who will now most likely depend on society for help. Characterization of #injury severity is crucial to the scientific grading of trauma, numerous scoring systems exist, the focus will be on four Injury Severity Score (ISS), New Injury Severity Score (NISS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS) and #Emergency Trauma Score (EMTRAS). The Goal of the Study is to determine the best scoring system out of the four (ISS, NISS, RTS and EMTRAS) for predicting mortality of polytrauma patients within 30 minutes onset of injury. The research study has been done in the Emergency Center, Clinical Center of Vojvodina in Novi Sad, Serbia. Data has been collected from the Department of Anesthesia and Intensive Therapy. This was a retrospective study. The research encompassed 107 patients, ages from 20 years of age to 86 years of age.
