Increased age, blunt trauma, ISS≥25 and increasing RTS were factors found to be associated with increased risk of mortality in major trauma patients in Trinidad and Tobago. The TRISS model in this study was found to be an excellent discriminator between those who had a high chance of survival to those who had a low probability of survival. A multi-center trial is required for validation of trauma prediction tools such
