Abbreviated injury scale
From Ganfyd
Scale for describing severity of trauma injuries:
- Minor
- Moderate
- Serious
- Severe
- Critical
- Unsurvivable
The scales are used to assign scores to various organ systems, e.g. the Injury severity score and other similar scores.[1][2] The scores are intended to identify severely injured patients and to help guide prognosis in trauma.[3] Some of the detailed scores are under license.[4]
