The New Injury Severity Score Is a Better Predictor of Extended Hospitalization and Intensive Care Unit Admission Than the Injury Severity Score in Patients With Multiple Orthopaedic Injuries

Abstract

MOI have a significant effect on trauma outcomes such as LOS and ICU admission. The recognition of this high-risk group is not possible using the traditional ISS alone from retrospective or prospective databases. Considering its easier calculation and better predictive power, it is suggested that the NISS should replace the traditional ISS in trauma outcome research.

Ten years of new injury severity score (NISS): is it a possible change?

“…The 19 studies comparing NISS and ISS were assessed thoroughly by its full reading (3)(4)(5)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23) . Of these, Despite this diversity of countries, the USA had the greatest number of publication (68.5%).…”

Preventable Deaths Among Trauma Patients

“…In the analyzed group, the percentage of prehospital deaths was high and amounted to 4 Polish criminal law does not provide a penalty for the implementation of incorrect medical treatment unless the results of this treatment lead consequence that would not have occurred if the treatment had been correct, e.g., if a death caused by the original injuries was unpreventable, then the doctor (or other qualified health service employee) cannot be brought to justice for the accidental manslaughter, even when the implemented medical treatment was evidently incorrect. However, such a situation does not exclude charging them with the exposure to immediate danger of death or severe impairment of health, as stated in the Polish Penal Code.…”

“…In individual cases, classification 4 of incorrect medical actions has important legal and penal implications; above all, however, it allows assessment of the influence of incorrect medical treatment on the death rate of the victims of accidents. These medical mistakes often gain unjustified media publicity and have a negative influence on the public sense of security.…”

“…ISS may maximally reach a score of 75 points, while if any injury is estimated as unsurvivable (AIS of 6) then the ISS is automatically assigned the maximum score. Similar to ISS is the New Injury Severity Score (NISS), in which the three highest AIS scores are used even if they are assigned to the same body region (3,4,7,8,16).…”

Endogenous Intoxication in Animals of Different Age Groups in Case of Polytrauma

“…These days, the increased number of associated is one of the most important social and economic problems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7].…”
