Anatomical
Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) Injury Severity Score (ISS) New Injury Severity Score (NISS) Anatomic Profile (AP)
Physiological
Revised Trauma Score (RTS) Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE)
Combined
Trauma and Injury Severity Score - (TRISS) International Classification of Diseasesbased ISS - (ICISS)
AIS
Limitations
No comprehensive measure of severity No linear scale Not predicting patient outcomes or mortality
Minor contusion of Liver 2 Complex Rupture Spleen 5 Fracture femur 3 No Injury Injury Severity Score: 0
50
Anatomic Profile
Four categories: A - Head and spinal cord B - Thorax and anterior neck C - All remaining serious injuries D - All non-serious injuries
Anatomic Profile
Square root of the sum of squares of the AIS scores of all serious injuries in each region No injury - Zero
Anatomic Profile
Mathematical complexity
Limitations
GCS
SBP
RR
RTS
Triage Sort
10 or less
Priority
Ranges 0-12 Score < 11 - transfer to trauma centre Quality assurance and outcome prediction
TRISS
Limitations
Multiple injuries to same body region cannot measure Limitations of RTS , Intubated patients are excluded Physiological data, unreliable or unavailable Affected by degree of resuscitation No account of pre-existing medical conditions
ICISS
Limitations
ICD-9 code varies from hospital to hospital Ignores physiological data Computational software is needed for calculations and predictions Claimed improvement of ICISS over ISS is not unique
Conclusion
Despite imperfections, trauma scoring remains important Existing severity scores are being used for which they are not intended Continued research will improve methodology and accurate prediction on individual patient basis
