In blunt trauma patients it was 0.79 and much higher in elderly patients, 0.92.&nbsp;The index has been shown to predict mortality in geriatric influenza patients presenting to the emergency department [3].<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Allgower M, Buri C.
