Omar Bouamra et al. Crit Care. .

Abstract

Prognostic models may have some clinical advantages when predicting the outcome of individual trauma patients is relevant. The variables that are predicted to have a negative effect on outcome in a model can also guide clinicians in their resuscitation attempt of trauma victims.
