Abstract

BACKGROUND: The effective management of trauma patients necessitates efficient triaging, timely activation of Massive Blood Transfusion Protocols (MTP), and accurate prediction of in-hospital outcomes. Machine learning (ML) algorithms have emerged as up-and-coming tools in the domains of optimizing triage decisions, improving intervention strategies, and predicting clinical outcomes, consistently outperforming traditional methodologies. This study aimed to develop, assess, and compare several ML models for the triaging processes, activation of MTP, and mortality prediction.
