Assessing Mortality of Blunt Trauma with Co-morbidity
نویسنده
چکیده
Methodology: The Injury severity Score (ISS) is the default world standard for assessing the severity of multiple injuries. ISS is a mathematical fit to empirical field data. It is demonstrated that ISS is proportional to the Gibbs/Shannon Entropy. A new Entropy measure of morbidity from blunt force trauma including co-morbidities is derived based on the von Neumann Entropy, called the Abbreviated Morbidity Scale (AMS).
