Background: Management of hemorrhage plays a critical role in acute trauma care, owing to its significant association with morbidity and mortality in severely injured patients. We aimed at comparing the accuracy of three prediction models Trauma Associated Severe Hemorrhage (TASH) score, Assessment of Blood Consumption (ABC) score and Emergency Transfusion Score (ETS) for early estimation of the probability of massive transfusion, and its prognostic significance following trauma. Methods and Materials: retrospective analysis all cases of trauma, who required transfusion of >3 units of packed red blood cells (PRBC) was conducted for the duration of six months. Massive transfusion was defined as transfusion of >10 units of packed red blood cells within 24 hours. Correlation of all scoring systems with the probability of mass transfusion, sev.. View More»
