BACKGROUND In this study, we compared the anatomical, and physiological scoring systems trauma revised injury severity score (TRISS), revised trauma score (RTS), injury severity score (ISS), new injury severity score (NISS) to each other, to find out the most accurate and reliable trauma score for the risk classification of morbidity and mortality among the trauma patients. METHODS This is a ...

PURPOSE To assess the correlation between the presence of lamina fractures, narrowing of the spinal canal, and the severity of injury. METHODS Records of 146 men and 44 women aged 13 to 84 (mean, 39) years diagnosed with burst fractures of the thoracolumbar spine were retrospectively reviewed. The laminar fractures and narrowing of the spinal canal were measured using computed tomography. The...

OBJECTIVE The research was undertaken to describe the injury severity score (ISS) and the new injury severity score (NISS) and to illustrate their statistical properties. DESIGN Descriptive analysis and assessment of the distribution of these scales. METHODS Three data sources--the National Pediatric Trauma Registry; the Massachusetts Uniform Hospital Discharge Data Set; and a trauma regist...

conclusions more than half of the patients were disabled after 3 months of trauma. elderly patients, patient with severe trauma, and long hospitalization and patients with extremity injuries were high risk for disability. results the mean disability scores at 1 and 3 months post-injury was 30.3 (9.2) and 18.8 (8.3), respectively and there was a statistical significant difference between disabil...

BACKGROUND Anatomic injury severity scores can be grouped into two classes; consensus-derived and data-derived. The former, including the Injury Severity Score (ISS), the New Injury Severity Score (NISS), and the Anatomic Profile Score (APS), are based on the severity score of the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS), assigned by clinical experts. The latter, including the International Classificatio...

The article is a bibliographic review which intends to present the actual range of researches comparing the Injury Severity Score (ISS) and the New Injury Severity Score (NISS). Databases were searched using the keyword NISS, with 42 articles, 23 of which didn't compare the two indexes. Most part of the 19 selected articles showed that NISS has been more accurate in predicting the outcomes (dep...

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 Abbrevia...

OBJECTIVE To determine the extent to which the Injury Severity Score (ISS) and Trauma Mortality Probability Model (T-MPM), a new trauma injury score based on empirical injury severity estimates, agree on hospital quality. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PATIENTS Retrospective cohort study based on 66,214 patients in 68 hospitals. Four risk-adjustment models based on either ISS or T-MPM were constructed,...

The objective of this study was to verify if replacing the Injury Severity Score (ISS) by the New Injury Severity Score (NISS) in the original Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) form would improve the survival rate estimation. This retrospective study was performed in a level I trauma center during one year. ROC curve was used to identify the best indicator (TRISS or NTRISS) for survival ...
