Validation of the Denver emergency department trauma organ failure score to predict post-injury multiple organ failure.
The objective of the study was to externally validate the Denver Emergency Department (ED) Trauma Organ Failure (TOF) Score, a 6-item instrument that includes age, intubation, hematocrit, systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen, and white blood cell count, which was designed to predict the development of multiple organ failure (MOF) within 7 days of hospitalization. It was determined that the Denver ED TOF Score predicted development of MOF within 7 days of hospitalization.
