Abstract
Introduction:
Trauma is a serious global health issue, and children are among the world's most vulnerable victims. Pediatric Trauma Score (PTS) is a rating for the prediction of death in pediatric with trauma .This study aimed to evaluate the predictive power of PTS in predicting death in children with trauma.
Methods: This prospective study was part of a national study to develop a primary model for estimating mortality by adjusting the severity of injury in Iran. Which was performed on 92 pediatric trauma participants. To predict the predictive power of PTS, the Area under the Curve (AUC), 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI), sensitivity, specificity, coefficient of determination and, odds ratio were utilized. All tests were carried out with a significance level of 0.05.
Results: The mean age of patients participating in this study was 11.86 ± 4.94 years and 68 (73.91%) of them were male. The most common injury type was head and face (53.26%) trauma and the most common cause of trauma was motorcycle accidents (27.17%), respectively. The AUC value for PTS score was 0.911 and its coefficient of determination (R2) was 38%.
Conclusion: PTS is a good score for predicting trauma death in children in Iran. PTS can be used especially for triage of children with trauma in hospitals.
