The Revised Trauma Score is made up of three categories: Glasgow Coma Scale, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate. The score range is 0–12. In START triage, a patient with an RTS score of 12 is labeled delayed, 11 is urgent, and 3–10 is immediate. Those who have an RTS below 3 are declared dead and should not receive certain care ...
The IES-R yields a total score (ranging from 0 to 88) and subscale scores can also be calculated for the Intrusion, Avoidance, and Hyperarousal subscales. The authors recommend using means instead of raw sums for each of these subscale scores to allow comparison with scores from the Symptom Checklist 90 - Revised (SCL-90-R; Derogatis, 1994).

Examples include the Injury Severity Score [7] [8] and a modified version of the Glasgow Coma Scale. [9] More complex classification systems, such as the Revised Trauma Score , APACHE II , [ 10 ] and SAPS II [ 11 ] add physiologic data to the equation in an attempt to more precisely define the severity, which can be useful in triaging ...
