Abstract

Objectives: To assess the mortality prognostic value of the GAP score in polytrauma patients. Methods: A descriptive, longitudinal follow-up study on 40 patients aged ≥ 16, diagnosed with polytrauma according to the Berlin criteria (2014) and treated at the Intensive Care Unit, Military Hospital 103, from 01/2020 to 3/2023. Results: The majority of polytrauma patients were male (70%), aged between 20 and 59, with the main cause of injuries being traffic accidents (77.5%). The most common injuries were chest trauma (87.5%) and traumatic brain injury (80%). The majority of polytrauma patients had injuries in three organ systems (47.5%). The median admission time to the ICU was 3.12 hours. The GAP score value at the time of admission had a prognostic value for polytrauma patient mortality at a moderate level with p < 0.05 and AUC = 0.804. The cut-off value of GAP at T0 was 12, with the sensitivity (Se) and specificity (Sp) was 0.971 and 0.667, respectively. Conclusion: Polytrauma patients were predominantly male, in the working age group, with traffic accidents being the main cause. At the time of admission, the GAP score value had a significant prognostic value for mortality in polytrauma patients.
