Kampala Trauma Score is a simplification of the more complex TRISS. They both measure overall injury severity through 5 domains.

The domains include information on age, blood pressure, respiration, neurological status, and an injury score.

The TRISS requires sophisticated technical measurements while the KTS can be determined by front line health professionals in under resourced or rural centres.

KTS is scored out of 10. Its ability to predict mortality in trauma patients including burn patients in both adults and children has been validated.
