This condition may result in serious complications such as acute kidney injury (AKI) and death. While the McMahon Score is a recognized prognostic tool in trauma-induced rhabdomyolysis, its effectiveness in lightning-related cases remains uncertain. This study aims to evaluate the prognostic utility of the McMahon Score in predicting mortality and the development of AKI in patients presenting with lightning strike-induced rhabdomyolysis.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This retrospective cohort study included 66 patients admitted to a tertiary emergency department (ED) after lightning strikes between January 2013 and January 2023. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were reviewed. Patients were categorized by McMahon Score (\u2264\u20096 and &gt; 6). Outcomes such as mortality and AKI were compared. Predictive performance was assessed using ROC curve analysis.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>The median age was 21 years; 72.7% were male. The overall mortality rate was 21.2%, and AKI incidence was 7.0%. Patients with McMahon Scores\u2009&gt;\u20096 had significantly higher mortality and AKI rates (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The score showed strong predictive power for mortality (AUC: 0.951).
