Odds Ratio (OR) are in referenced to low risk (in case of EAC) and to stable (all other scores) patients within each score. With increase instability, the risk of death within 72 hours increases significantly. This leads to patients, that initially were stratified to as borderline, or in extremis that die prior to the development of late complications (Pneumonia, Sepsis, or death due to MOF)

EAC = Early Appropriate Care

(m)CGS = (modified) Clinical Grading System

PTGS = Polytrauma Grading Score
