Abstract

Various scales of estimating the severity of injury are discussed. The injuries and outcome of 1333 road accident patients coming to the hospital are re-analyzed in order to evaluate the Injury Severity Score (I.S.S.) ratings in comparison with the Probit-analysis. The analysis confirms that the I.S.S. ratings correspond well to mortality for given ages. A number of improvements for I.S.S. are mentioned.
