About this trial
This prospective observational study aims to validate the STUMBL score for risk stratification in emergency department patients with blunt thoracic trauma in Iraq. The main questions it seeks to answer are:
How accurately does the STUMBL score predict mortality and critical outcomes such as ICU admission or advanced interventions? How well does the score stratify patients by injury severity in a resource-limited setting? Are there demographic or clinical factors that influence the score's predictive performance?
Participants will:
Be assessed using the STUMBL score upon arrival at the emergency department to predict risk levels.
Have demographic and clinical data, including age, gender, injury mechanism, comorbidities, and length of hospital stay, collected to explore potential associations with outcomes.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients presenting to the emergency department with blunt thoracic trauma (e.g., motor vehicle accidents, falls, or direct impacts to the chest).
Patients who present within 4 hours of sustaining the injury.
Patients or their legal guardians must provide informed consent to participate in the study.
Disqualifiers
Patients with penetrating chest trauma (e.g., stab wounds, gunshot wounds).
Patients with other life-threatening injuries that overshadow the thoracic trauma (e.g., head or abdominal trauma).
Pregnant women due to potential risks related to radiation or certain diagnostic procedures.
Pediatric patients under 18 years of age.
