“…As can be inferred from our results, the patients with a NISS over 25 demonstrated a high incidence of mortality (36.4%), which indicates the adverse association of a high NISS with the survival rate in chest trauma victims after a major earthquake. Considering the previously published data 4,5 and utilizing the NISS to predict post-injury complications and mortality, it is probable that some complications and even deaths might have been prevented if the victims had been transferred promptly and treated appropriately. Some patients had more than one system of injury…”

Most of the chest injuries were classified as minor to moderate trauma; however, coexistent multiple injuries and subsequent infection should be carefully considered in medical response strategies. Coordinated efforts among emergency medical support groups and prior training in earthquake preparedness and rescue in earthquake-prone areas are therefore necessary for efficient evacuation and treatment of catastrophic casualties.

“…31 In the past decade, the NISS has been suggested as a better method for establishing morbidity and mortality in such patients. 16,32,33 The NISS considers all of the most severe lesions, regardless of being in the same body segment, 16 which seems especially important in patients with orthopedic trauma. 34,35 The NISS is also easier to apply than the ISS because it regards only the highest Abbreviated Injury Scale scores.…”

“…(0.852 vs 0.799; p < 0.001). Another study found NISS describes postinjury multiple organ failure better than ISS [13]. In a subsequent study, Balogh et al found patients with multiple orthopaedic injuries were more likely to have NISS > ISS [14].…”

Background: A central component to the statistical analysis of trauma care is the probability of survival model, which predicts outcome of the trauma event taking into account various anatomical and physiological factors. One of the key input information to the survival model is the injury score which forms the cornerstone of trauma epidemiology. There are many scoring systems currently in use, and the Injury Severity Score (ISS) as the anatomical component of the injury in the probability of survival model is a widely used one. This paper examines the possibility of representing the anatomical component of the trauma using different injury severity scoring methods described in the literature. Material and methods:The dataset used consists of 75,371 cases from the Trauma Audit and Research Network (TARN). TARN regroups 110 hospitals in the UK and it is the largest European trauma registry. Various limitations of ISS have been described in the literature and an investigation into other scoring methods, which could be calculated from the available data, was proposed. Using the available database, the alternative injury scoring methods can be calculated and their use within a Trauma score and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) probability of survival model is assessed. Results: The current score performs reasonably well, but there is some improvement in calibration associated with introducing a score, which takes into account body-region locations of all injuries.
