Disease relevance of Abbreviated Injury Scale

• The mortality rate for direct admissions was strongly related to the presence of serious head injury, 5.0% and 40.0%, when head injuries were less than or equal to AIS (Abbreviated Injury Scale) 3 or greater than or equal to AIS 4, respectively [1].
• The leg injury showed higher AIS (Abbreviated Injury Scale) than that of the arm injury caused by direct impact against the front exterior of vehicles [2].

High impact information on Abbreviated Injury Scale

• Although the injuries were predominantly minor (Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 1), two children sustained moderate injury (AIS 2), and one child sustained severe injury (AIS 3) [3].
• The splenic Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS; mean +/- SD) was the same for AE compared to CT+OR patients (3.8 +/- 0.4 vs 3.5 +/- 0.9) [4].
• The time and hospital location where deaths occurred were analyzed according to mechanism of injury, age, Glasgow Coma Score, and body areas with severe injury (Abbreviated Injury Scale [AIS] >/= 4) [5].
• Patients undergoing Combitube insertion had higher Face Abbreviated Injury Scale scores and were more likely to have oropharyngeal blood or vomitus [6].
• METHODS: CAI were identified by International Classification of Diseases-9 codes from the National Trauma Data Bank. Control groups were matched by age, mechanism, head Abbreviated Injury Scale score, Injury Severity Score, base deficit, and admission Glasgow Coma Scale score [7].

Biological context of Abbreviated Injury Scale

• Age, mechanism of injury, Injury Severity Score, maximum head Abbreviated Injury Scale score, admission Glasgow Coma Scale score, systolic blood pressure, and intubation status were the independent predictors of mortality [8].

Anatomical context of Abbreviated Injury Scale

• The mean injury Severity Score was 27 +/- 12, the average Glasgow Coma Scale score was 12 +/- 5, and the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) scores stratified for the abdomen and the thorax were 1.9 +/- 1.7 and 1.6 +/- 1.8, respectively [9].
• Patients with VAP were older (47 vs 39 years), had more transfusions within 24 h (2.5 vs 0.9 units of red blood cell concentrates) and had greater injury severity by ISS (16.7 vs 12.6 points), GCS (Glasgow Coma Scale) score (11.8 vs. 13.7 points) and chest AIS (Abbreviated Injury Scale) (1.7 vs 0.9 points; all p , 0.001) [10].

Associations of Abbreviated Injury Scale with chemical compounds

• The injuries were coded according to the 1980 revision of the Abbreviated Injury Scale of the American Association for Automotive Medicine and the data subjected to statistical analysis [11].

Gene context of Abbreviated Injury Scale

• Serious injuries (Abbreviated Injury Scale - AIS-3) accounted for 16% of the total cost to the community, but constituted only 3% of all injuries [12].
• Patients were stratified by TBI severity using an adaptation of the Abbreviated Injury Scale for administrative data (ICD/AIS), as follows: 2 = "moderate"; 3 = "serious"; 4 = "severe"; and 5 = "critical." Patient characteristics, patterns of treatment, and outcomes and costs were examined by injury severity and mechanism of injury [13].
• Two asymmetrical front-end damage patterns were commonly identified, and these gave the greatest rates of non-minor (Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) > or = 2) injuries in a range of Estimated Test Speeds from 35 to 52km/h which is the regime of current legislative crash tests [14].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Abbreviated Injury Scale

• RESULTS: There were no differences between the older and younger patients in admission Glasgow Coma Scale score, Revised Trauma Score, Injury Severity Score, or Abbreviated Injury Scale 1 score [15].
• By an evaluation of the degree of severity of the injuries with use of the AIS (Abbreviated Injury Scale) and ISS (Injury Severity Score) systems, the injurious effects of different types of disasters can be estimated and the findings can serve as a basis for future planning of disaster preparedness [16].
• Injury Severity Score, Abbreviated Injury Scale, Glasgow coma score, intensive care admission, length of stay, and acute care charges served as outcomes of interest [17].
