Abstract

A single 8½"x 11" chart has been developed by condensing and editing the injury descriptions in the 1980 revision of the Abbreviated Injury Scale. To evaluate its accuracy and the ability of residents to appropriately score patients soon after admission, 194 patients were studied. Errors related to construction of the form occurred in 4.1% and subsequent scoring changes resulting from delayed diagnosis occurred in 5.1%.
