Head injury is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity at all ages and may develop into intracranial haemorrhage and increasing intracranial pressure. Pre-assessment must be conducted to head injury patients to decide the treatment plan. The aim of this study was to compare Revised Trauma Score (RTS) based on intracranial haemorrhage volume among head injury patients. This study was an analytic study with cross-sectional design where 31 patients were studied. The admission RTS and patients’ status data were obtained from medical records at Dr. Abdul Aziz General Hospital, Singkawang, Indonesia and intracranial haemorrhage volume data were obtained from the head CT-scan. The data were analysed by Mann-Whitney U-test. The admission Revised Trauma Score rates were significantly different (95% CI, p=0.006) by intracranial haemorrhage volume which the RTS rate of less intracranial haemorrhage volume group was 11.40 ± 0.74 and the RTS rate of greater intracranial haemorrhage volume group was 10.13 ± 1.54. The greater intracranial haemorrhage volume showed the lower RTS value which means the worse physiological condition.
