A Changing of the Abbreviated Injury Scale that Improves Accuracy and Simplifies Scoring

et al.

Abstract: Objective We present here a changing of the abbreviated injury scale (AIS). It is called the changed injury severity score (CISS), and significantly outperforms the venerable but dated the injury severity score (ISS) and the new injury severity score (NISS) as a predictor of mortality. Methods The CISS is defined as a change of AIS values by raising each AIS severity score (1-6) by a power of 4.12 divided by 30.33 and then summing the three most severe (i.e. highest AIS) regardless of body regions. CISS valu… Show more

“…Patients who were dead on arrival to the hospital (18,581) or transferred to another facility (71,855) were also excluded. We excluded patients who sustained a single or multiple injuries and AIS_05 severity code component was 9 (5,282). At least 500 trauma patients per hospital annually were available (119,393 patients were excluded).…”

“…The latest AIS version, AIS 2005 (AIS_05), was updated from AIS 1998 (AIS_98) [2]. Many kinds of quick evaluation methods based on AIS code are being gradually well established, such as the injury severity score (ISS), the new ISS (NISS), the changed injury severity score (CISS) and so on [3,4,5]. Their ability to predict traumatic mortality has been improved as well.…”
