Trauma Severity Score

The Trauma Severity Score (TSS) is a medical tool used to assess the seriousness of injuries a patient has sustained, particularly after accidents. It combines various factors, such as the type and location of injuries, to generate a numerical score. Higher scores indicate more severe injuries, which can help doctors determine the urgency and type of treatment needed. The TSS assists healthcare professionals in decision-making and can be valuable for research on trauma outcomes. Essentially, it serves as a standardized way to evaluate how critically injured a patient is following a traumatic event.
