Abstract

Score systems in trauma try to aggregate the severity of injury in a single number of formula. They give a common basis to standardize logistics and outcome in trauma management. This holds true only if the score is valid, reliable, and based on a meticulous documentation of data. As errors cannot be excluded, individual decisions in trauma management can never rely on scores alone.
