Abstract
The Revised Trauma Score (RTS) is a trauma scoring system that assesses physiological functions capable of predicting the death of head injury patients. PKU Muhammadiyah Gombong Hospital in identifying trauma patients has not used trauma scoring specifically for trauma. Analyzing and identifying using only the observation sheet has not been able to show the severity of the injured or traumatized patient. The purpose of this study was to determine whether RTS was effectively used to predict mortality in severe head injury patients. This research method is a type of descriptive correlation research using a retrospective cohort study approach by taking medical record data from 2015 to 2019. Retrieval of data using observation sheets was carried out on April 20, 2020, at PKU Muhammadiyah Gombong Hospital. The study sample consisted of 87 patients with severe head injury according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Test Results of the 'Statistics Test' known as Asymp.Sig. (2-tailed) on the Fisher's Exact Test of (0.683> 0.05). Thus the Revised Trauma Score (RTS) statistical test is not effective against the Predictors of death in severe head injury patients at PKU Muhammadiyah Gombong Hospital. Recommendations Researchers can then add nursing and medical interventions as other considerations.
