Abstract: Evaluation of trauma and prediction of outcome in 255 train accident victims in Delhi was studied out of which 40 cases survived and taken up for this study. Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) was calculated and its correlation with period of survival was determined. Males and females were 86.7% and 13.3% respectively. Mean age was 37.5 years.
