Abstract
Background: Chest trauma, in the younger population, is
considered a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. A scoring
system that can give us a prediction of the thorax related complications
in thoracic trauma patients is especially needed. So, the Thoracic
Trauma Severity Score (TTSS) was described.
The aim of this work: To assess the validity of the Thoracic
Trauma Severity Score and its efficacy to predict outcome in blunt
thoracic trauma patients.
Methodology: Our study included 160 patients of isolated
blunt chest trauma attending to emergency room at Benha University
Hospital.
Results: TTSS when larger than or equal 8 is a good test for
prediction of outcome as sensitivity of it reaches 92.3% while
specificity is 100% with 97.5% accuracy.
Conclusion: This study shows how the usefulness of the TTSS for
predicting outcome in thoracic trauma patients, as poor outcome was
associated with higher scores.
