Abstract
Introduction
The Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) uses anatomic and/or physiologic variables to predict mortality; however, Injury Severity Score is less reliable for penetrating trauma. National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Surgical Risk Calculator (NSQIP-SRC) and American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS) include functional status and comorbidities. This study evaluates the accuracy of these tools in predicting mortality, length of stay (LOS), and complications for operative penetrating trauma.
Methods
Adult penetrating trauma patients (≥18 y) who underwent surgery within 24 h of admission were included in this subgroup analysis of a prospective observational study at four trauma centers. The following three scoring models were compared: NSQIP-SRC, TRISS, and ASA-PS. Brier scores and area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve were used to compare mortality prediction. LOS prediction was assessed with linear regression and complications were evaluated with negative binomial regression. Likelihood ratio (LR) test was used to assess model fit.
Results
Of 329 penetrating trauma patients, 13 (3.9%) died. The median LOS was 4 d (interquartile range 2-9), and median number of complications was zero (interquartile range 0-1). TRISS better predicted mortality than NSQIP-SRC or ASA-PS on Brier score (0.02 versus 0.03 versus 0.03) but all had similar area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (0.93 versus 0.93 versus 0.91, P = 0.26). NSQIP-SRC and ASA-PS better predicted LOS on adjusted R2 (14.4% versus 14.1% versus 1.6%) and LR showed no difference between these two tools (P = 0.16). NSQIP-SRC best predicted complications compared to TRISS and ASA-PS (Pseudo R2: 10.3% versus 3.8% versus 5.5%; LR: P = 0.003).
Conclusions
For penetrating trauma, all three models were similarly excellent at predicting mortality. NSQIP-SRC and ASA-PS better predicted LOS and NSQIP-SRC best predicted complications, suggesting these are better tools for prognostication of outcomes for penetrating trauma.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Surgical Research: Clinical and Laboratory Investigation publishes original articles concerned with clinical and laboratory investigations relevant to surgical practice and teaching. The journal emphasizes reports of clinical investigations or fundamental research bearing directly on surgical management that will be of general interest to a broad range of surgeons and surgical researchers. The articles presented need not have been the products of surgeons or of surgical laboratories.
The Journal of Surgical Research also features review articles and special articles relating to educational, research, or social issues of interest to the academic surgical community.
