Abstract

The difference between injury scaling performed in the same patients on the basis of clinical information only and post- mortem examination only is largely unknown. Scores in 279 trauma patients from 1982 through 1987 (93% blunt trauma, 4% penetrating trauma, 3% burns, median time until death; 2 days) using the 1985 revision of the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS- 85)were compared and derived Injury Severity Scores where such scoring was based on clinical information only (CLAIS, CLISS) or post- mortem findings only (PMAIS, PMISS) and the differences are presented.
