Abstract
Objectives

To validate Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) methodology as an auditing tool in the Spanish ICU Trauma Registry (RETRAUCI).

Design

A prospective, multicenter registry evaluation was carried out.

Setting

Thirteen Spanish Intensive Care Units (ICUs).

Patients

Individuals with traumatic disease and available data admitted to the participating ICUs.

Interventions

Predicted mortality using TRISS methodology was compared with that observed in the pilot phase of the RETRAUCI from November 2012 to January 2015. Discrimination was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the corresponding areas under the curves (AUCs) (95% CI), with calibration using the Hosmer–Lemeshow (HL) goodness-of-fit test. A value of p<0.05 was considered significant.

Main variables of interest

Predicted and observed mortality.

Results

A total of 1405 patients were analyzed. The observed mortality rate was 18% (253 patients), while the predicted mortality rate was 16.9%. The area under the ROC curve was 0.889 (95% CI: 0.867–0.911). Patients with blunt trauma (n=1305) had an area under the ROC curve of 0.887 (95% CI: 0.864–0.910), and those with penetrating trauma (n=100) presented an area under the curve of 0.919 (95% CI: 0.859–0.979). In the global sample, the HL test yielded a value of 25.38 (p=0.001): 27.35 (p<0.0001) in blunt trauma and 5.91 (p=0.658) in penetrating trauma. TRISS methodology underestimated mortality in patients with low predicted mortality and overestimated mortality in patients with high predicted mortality.

Conclusions

TRISS methodology in the evaluation of severe trauma in Spanish ICUs showed good discrimination, with inadequate calibration – particularly in blunt trauma.

Introduction

Trauma registries constitute an useful tool for monitoring trauma patient care, since they accurately reflect management and care in different settings.1,2 This allows not only improvement of individual treatment but also reorganization of the general care profile and logistics applied in the management of severe trauma patients, as well as comparisons among different registries for benchmarking purposes.1–4

The outcome of trauma patients is mainly determined by the initial severity of the physiological and anatomical injuries secondary to trauma itself. Severity of injury can be evaluated by severity scales obtained from the analysis of large cohorts of patients.5 Of all the prognostic scores used in trauma patients, the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) is currently the most widely used tool, and is regarded as the standard method. In this regard, TRISS methodology determines the probability of survival based on a logistic regression model that includes anatomical evaluation by means of the Injury Severity Score (ISS), physiological evaluations using the Revised Trauma Score (RTS), patient age and type of trauma (blunt or penetrating).4 The following equation is applied:

Coefficients b0b3 were derived from the logistic regression analysis of the American database MTOS (US Major Trauma Outcome Study). This was not a population-based database, participation was voluntary, and it involved hospitals with a special interest in trauma.

The pilot phase of the Spanish Intensive Care Unit Trauma Registry (RETRAUCI) has been recently conducted in 13 Intensive Care Units (ICUs).6 Our objective was to validate TRISS methodology almost 30 years later as an auditing tool for mortality prediction in the Spanish ICU Trauma Registry, taking into consideration the mechanisms of injury (blunt or penetrating).

Methods

The pilot phase of the RETRAUCI was conducted from 23 November 2012 to 31 January 2015. Thirteen ICUs distributed throughout Spain collected data. The RETRAUCI is endorsed by the Trauma and Neurointensive Care Working Group of the Spanish Society of Intensive Care Medicine (SEMICYUC). Ethics Committee approval for the registry was obtained. No specific interventions were required for this study.

Patients

We studied all patients admitted to the participating ICUs during the pilot phase of the RETRAUCI due to traumatic disease. In all cases, data on epidemiology, acute management, resource utilization and outcome were recorded. Patients were followed-up on until hospital discharge for outcome as a dichotomous variable (alive or dead).

The following exclusion criteria were applied:

  • -

    Missing data for calculating RTS or ISS.

  • -

    Outcome at hospital discharge not known for any reason.

Data collection

Data used for calculating RTS (respiratory rate, systolic blood pressure and Glasgow coma score) were obtained from first medical attention before initiating resuscitation and/or mechanical ventilation.

Data used for calculating the ISS were prospectively collected by the intensivist in charge of the patient after ICU admission, based on the Abbreviated Injury Scale (updated in 2008).

Statistical analysis

Quantitative data are reported as means (standard deviation) (SD) and qualitative data as absolute frequencies and percentages. Probability of survival was calculated according to TRISS methodology5,7 and secondarily, predicted mortality was calculated as follows: (100 – predicted probability of survival). To evaluate the validity of the model, we studied discrimination and calibration in the whole sample and distributed according to blunt or penetrating mechanisms of injury. Discrimination refers to the ability to distinguish between patients who die and those that survive. Accordingly, if the model predicts a mortality rate of 20%, discrimination is perfect if the observed mortality is 20%. It can be evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and the area under the curves (AUCs) (95% confidence interval, 95% CI). The greater the area, the better the discrimination. Sensitivity (S), specificity (Sp), and the positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV) were recorded in each case.

The calibration of a prognostic model evaluates the concordance between the probability observed in the sample and the probability predicted by the model, describing how the prognostic scale works over wide ranges of predicted mortality. It is evaluated using the Hosmer–Lemeshow (HL) goodness-of-fit test, in patients with low (<10%), intermediate (10–50%) and high predicted mortality rates (>50%). A probability of close to 1 represents better adjustment.8

Statistical significance was considered for p<0.05. The SPSS® version 20 statistical package (IBM Corporation 2011) was used throughout.

Results

A total of 2242 patients formed the global cohort of the pilot phase of the RETRAUCI. Patient dropout from the sample was due to different reasons, the most important being inability to determine hospital outcome in 21.1% of the cases, due to patient transfer to the corresponding reference hospital. In most cases, transfer was done to another country, making follow-up impossible. The flowchart in Fig. 1 summarizes the final sample of 1405 patients included in the study.

The mean patient age was 46.7 (19.4) years, and 80.3% were males. The mean ISS score was 21.3 (12.1). A total of 1305 patients suffered blunt trauma (92.9%) as the main mechanism of injury, while the remaining 100 patients (7.1%) presented penetrating trauma. Table 1 shows the data referred to patient epidemiology, acute management, resource utilization and main outcome.

Discussion

Our study shows that TRISS methodology applied in the sample of patients included in the pilot phase of the RETRAUCI presented good levels of discrimination with inadequate calibration, especially in patients with blunt trauma. Penetrating trauma showed better discrimination and good calibration. Altogether, these results suggest that newly calibrated (b coefficient) scales are necessary in our setting.

Our sample of patients offers an initial picture of patients with severe trauma admitted to the ICUs of our setting, taking into account the severity of injury, the care provided, length of stay and mortality. These Units represent level I and II centers. Such patients usually present high ISS values, important resource utilization, and high mortality. The TRISS methodology is based on the degree of anatomical injury (ISS), physiological response (RTS) and functional reserve (age). It was first developed in the 1980s through several logistic regression models5,9 with different b coefficients considering blunt or penetrating injuries. Several updates have been made since then.

When applied to our patients, TRISS showed good discrimination with inadequate calibration – a fact that limits the use of this prognostic model. This observation is consistent with other studies, and in general, with other prognostic scores in the ICU setting, where the main shortcoming corresponds to inadequate calibration despite good discrimination.10 It must be noted that in our sample of patients, those with penetrating injury showed good calibration. This fact is consistent with previous studies differentiating between blunt and penetrating trauma. In the latter type of trauma, discrimination and calibration is better, perhaps due to lesser improvement in their specific care.11,12

Poor calibration and discrimination does not necessarily refer to the quality of the care provided but rather to incorrect application of the model to a population with specific characteristics.13 In addition, TRISS is considered to present lower sensitivity for blunt trauma, since it underestimates brain injury; does not consider multiple injuries in the same anatomical area; and does not consider age on an individual basis. In our sample of patients, on taking into account the different mortality groups, TRISS underestimated mortality when the predicted mortality was <60% and overestimated it when the predicted mortality was >60% (Fig. 3).

Mortality prediction according to TRISS has therefore been questioned14,15: its clinical application has shown opposite results,16–18 especially when used in non-MTOS patients.19,20 The best way to increase its predictive value is to use local correction factors to adjust for b coefficients.20–22 The results of our study confirm that newly developed b coefficients are needed for trauma patients admitted to Spanish ICUs.

New scores have been developed in an attempt to improve the predictive value of TRISS. Some of them are the ASCOT (A Severity Characterization Of Trauma), which includes gender, 5 age categories and different anatomic scales; the ICISS (International Classification of Diseases Ninth revision based injury severity score); the NISS (New Injury Severity Score); the RISC (Revised Injury Severity Classification score); or the pediatric BIG score. However, although they have slightly improved the predictive ability of TRISS methodology, the latter remains the most widely used tool in clinical practice.12,20,23–25

Our study has a number of limitations – some attributable to the TRISS model itself, and other specific of our sample. The most relevant are (a) the limited number of patients for this kind of analysis despite the multicenter nature of the study. This corresponds to the pilot phase of the RETRAUCI. With a growing number of centers recruiting patients, we expect to solve this issue in the future; (b) up to 21% of the patients were lost for hospital outcome evaluation. This was due to the large number of patients from different countries that are admitted to our ICUs and are subsequently transferred to their reference hospitals at home, thereby making follow-up impossible.

In sum, TRISS methodology in the Spanish RETRAUCI showed good levels of discrimination, with inadequate calibration, especially in blunt trauma. Penetrating trauma showed better discrimination and good calibration. Altogether, these results suggest that newly calibrated (b coefficient) scales are necessary in our setting.
