“…Injury severity scores (ISS) from existing datasets were matched to a total of 187 participants within the study cohort. ISS is an anatomical scoring system that provides an overall score (ranging 0-75) for patients with multiple injuries to multiple regions of the body [12]. ISS is one of the most widely used scoring systems in the trauma literature and correlates well with several important trauma outcomes such as mortality and duration of hospitalisation [12].…”

On 4 th August 2020, approximately 2750 tonnes of Ammonium Nitrate stored in the port of Beirut ignited, causing a huge explosion that damaged large parts of the city, causing more than 200 deaths and over 7,000 injuries. Injured victims' locations at the time of the explosion were previously unreported and unknown due to improper documentation. Without such knowledge, a victim's degree of blast exposure cannot be estimated, preventing further understanding of how blast loading contributed to injury outcomes.Results from this study highlight the capacity and limitations of blast modelling approaches for injury prediction through examination of a real-world urban blast case study. New knowledge can be used to inform disaster management and guide the protection of civilians exposed to urban blasts.

“…We collected data on the Injury Severity Score (ISS), length of stay in the hospital (days), location after discharge, and 30-day postinjury mortality to describe the consequences after the fall incident. The ISS varied between 0 (no injury) and 75 (lethal injury) (Baker et al, 1974; Reynolds et al, 2011). The following categories were applied: no injury (ISS 0), minor (ISS 1–3), moderate (ISS 4–8), serious (ISS 9–12), severe (ISS 13–15), dangerous (ISS 16–24), and critical injury (ISS 25–75) (Stevenson et al, 2001).…”
