Emergency
Revised Trauma Score (RTS & T-RTS Survival Probability)
Calculates Triage RTS (0–12) and weighted physiological RTS (0–7.84) to determine trauma center destination and survival probability.

Revised Trauma Score (RTS & T-RTS Survival Probability) Result
--
Formula
Triage RTS = Coded GCS + Coded SBP + Coded RR (0 - 12)
Weighted RTS = 0.9368(GCS) + 0.7326(SBP) + 0.2908(RR) (0 - 7.84)Clinical Pearls
Standardized prehospital physiological triage score that significantly reduces preventable trauma mortality by ensuring direct diversion to tertiary trauma centers.
Limitations
Intubated or chemically paralyzed patients cannot be accurately assigned verbal GCS or spontaneous RR and require modified imputation.
