Should the New Injury Severity Score replace the Injury Severity Score in the Trauma and Injury Severity Score?
BACKGROUND This study was performed to compare the efficacies of Injury Severity Score (ISS) and New Injury Severity Score (NISS), and to investigate whether replacing ISS with NISS in Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) changes the predictive power for mortality. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 550 patients aged over 16 years seen in our center over a period of four years who had in...

متن کاملPrediction of mortality in pediatric trauma patients: new injury severity score outperforms injury severity score in the severely injured.
BACKGROUND The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is a widely accepted method of measuring severity of traumatic injury. A modification has been proposed--the New Injury Severity Score (NISS). This has been shown to predict mortality better in adult trauma patients, but it had no predictive benefit in pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether the NISS outperforms the ISS in a ...
