The Revised Trauma Score is a physiological scoring system, with high inter-rater reliability and demonstrated accuracy in predicting death. It is scored from the first set of data obtained on the patient, and consists of Glasgow Coma Scale, Systolic Blood Pressure and Respiratory Rate.
| Glasgow Coma Scale | Systolic Blood Pressure | Respiratory Rate | Coded Value |
| (GCS) | (SBP) | (RR) |
| 13-15 | >89 | 10-29 | 4 |
| 9-12 | 76-89 | >29 | 3 |
| 6-8 | 50-75 | 6-9 | 2 |
| 4-5 | 1-49 | 1-5 | 1 |
| 3 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
RTS = 0.9368 GCS + 0.7326 SBP + 0.2908 RR
Values for the RTS are in the range 0 to 7.8408.
