Validation of the STUMBL Score for Blunt Thoracic Trauma

This prospective observational study aims to validate the STUMBL score for risk stratification in emergency department patients with blunt thoracic trauma in Iraq. The main questions it seeks to answer are: How accurately does the STUMBL score predict mortality and critical outcomes such as ICU admission or advanced interventions? How well does the score stratify patients by injury severity in a resource-limited setting? Are there demographic or clinical factors that influence the score's predictive performance? Participants will: Be assessed using the STUMBL score upon arrival at the emergency department to predict risk levels. Have demographic and clinical data, including age, gender, injury mechanism, comorbidities, and length of hospital stay, collected to explore potential associations with outcomes.
