Reverse Shock Index multiplied by Glasgow Coma Scale score as a point-of-care severity assessment for initial trauma management: a nationwide cohort study

There has been a disproportionate increase in the number of deaths from road traffic accidents in low- and middle-income countries as a result of rapid motorisation [1]. Road traffic injuries also cause an enormous loss of disability-adjusted life years in low- and middle-income countries and substantial economic loss in high-income countries [2]. Furthermore, the number of civilian and military trauma casualties is expected to increase further as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
