The document discusses various trauma scoring systems used to assess injury severity, predict survival chances, and guide triage and treatment of trauma patients. It describes anatomical indices like the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and Injury Severity Score (ISS) which evaluate individual injuries and overall injury burden. It also covers physiological scales like the Trauma Score, Revised Trauma Score, and CRAMS scale. Multiple organ dysfunction scores like SOFA are presented, along with mass casualty triage algorithms like START and SALT.
3. The Injury Severity Score (ISS)
summarize the severity of the condition
of multiply injured patients.
The ISS is the sum of squares of the highest
AIS grades in each of the 3 most severely
injured body regions.
ISS = sum of 3 highest2AIS
= a2 + b2 + c2

7. TRISS;
Trauma Score-Injury Severity Score
TRISS determines the probability of survival (Ps)
of trauma patient from the RTS and ISS using the
following formulae:
Ps = 1
(1+e-b)
Krongdai.unh@mahidol.ac.th
8. b = b0+b1(RTS)+b2(ISS)+b3(ageIndex)
AgeIndex = 0 if the patient is below 54 years
= 1 if 55 years and over
If the patient is less than 15, the blunt coefficients
are used regardless of mechanism.
