Base Deficit, International Normalized Ratio, and Glasgow Coma Scale (BIG) is a Predictor Tool for Survival and Mortality of Pediatric Trauma Patients
The current study has shown the added value of the BIG score as a simple and rapid tool to predict prognosis in pediatric trauma settings. The BIG score with a cutoff point of ≥10.0 is highly efficient in predicting pediatric trauma patients' mortality rates. However, the BIG score demonstrates greater accuracy in predicting survival outcomes compared to its ability to predict mortality among pediatric trauma patients.
