Abstract

This paper addresses the potential utility of statewide uniform hospital discharge abstract data for trauma research and system evaluation. The recent development of a computerized conversion table that translates ICD- 9CM coded discharge diagnoses into AIS body region and severity codes has led to new applications of these databases, providing population- based data specific to the severity of injuries.
