Pediatric_trauma_BIG_score v.1
To calculate the Pediatric trauma BIG Score which helps to rapidly assess the severity of illness and predict mortality in pediatric trauma patients.
Pediatric patients under 18 years of age, after blunt or penetrating trauma or penetrating blast injury. BIG is an acronym for the components of the score: base deficit, INR, and GCS.
BIG Score alone should not direct clinical care because patients with BIG Scores <16 still require intensive care and trauma surgery services and should receive care at level 1 pediatric trauma centers (Davis 2015).
