Abstract

Ten sets of injuries (involving a total of 25 AIS-80 injury descriptions) were reviewed by physicians involved in trauma care. Each injury set contained two or three descriptions of increasingly severe injury to the same anatomical structure. Results indicate that for two of the severity estimates reviewed higher severity estimates are usually associated with severity qualifiers describing injuries with higher AIS scores.
