What is Injury Severity about?
The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is a scoring system that evaluates trauma severity based on the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and is crucial for predicting patient outcomes. It involves assessing injuries across six body regions, selecting the highest AIS scores, and calculating the ISS by squaring and summing the top three scores. An ISS of 16 or higher indicates major trauma, and any AIS score of 6 automatically results in an ISS of 75 due to the associated mortality risk.
