TRISS score has been calculated to define the survival probability (Ps) of all 291 patients and stratified into 3 groups. We compared the actual death of each group to the outcome study of Khon Kaen Hospital (n=2492). We also used Z-statistic to compared the actual survivors and expected survivors from TRISS norms.</p> <p><strong>Result : </strong>The actual death of Non-preventable death group, Potentially preventable death group and Preventable death group were 41.67%, 45.45% and 6.39% respectively. The outcome study of Khon Kaen Hospital in each group were 87.6%, 67.7% and 2.8% respectively.</p> <p>The Z-score was – 0.02306 (P = 0.008 – 0.01)</p> <p><strong>Conclusion : </strong>In Non-preventable death group (Ps 0.00-0.25), the outcome of treatment was better than the outcome study of Khon Kaen Hospital</p> <p>In Potentially preventable death group (Ps 0.25-0.50), no statistically difference between the 2 studies</p> <p>In preventable death group (Ps 0.50-1.00), the outcome study of Khon Kaen Hospital was better than outcome of Accident and Emergency Unit</p> <p>The Z-score  -0.02306 indicated no statistically difference between number of actual survivors and expected survivors from TRISS norms.</p> ER -
