Revised Trauma Score

[2] The Revised Trauma Score is made up of three categories: Glasgow Coma Scale, systolic blood pressure, and respiratory rate.

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 because they are highly unlikely to survive without a significant amount of resources.

[citation needed] The score is as follows:[3] These three scores (Glasgow Coma Scale, Systolic Blood Pressure, Respiratory Rate) are then used to take the weighted sum by RTS = 0.9368 GCSP + 0.7326 SBPP + 0.2908 RRP Values for the RTS are in the range 0 to 7.8408.

A threshold of RTS < 4 has been proposed to identify those patients who should be treated in a trauma centre, although this value may be somewhat low.
