  • *Age=scale variable.

  • †Age into two groups (0–54, 55+) that is, MTOS TRISS with new QEH coefficients.

  • ‡Age into four groups (0–15, 16–54, 55–79, 80+).

  • §Age into two groups (0–69, 70+).

  • MTOS, Major Trauma Outcome Study; QEH, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital; ROC, Receiver operator characteristic; TRISS, Trauma and Injury Severity Score.
