AIS reflects severity of single 1) time
injuries and are unaffected by 2) sequela
what three things? 3) outcome
Injury descriptors are organized Anatomically
_________________________ ?
,Injury severity is ranked relative The whole body
to its importance to _______________?
Origins of AIS (3) 1) Standardized system
2) Classify type/severity of injury from MVC
3) Consensus
What type of scale does AIS 6 point ordinal scale
use?
Which type of measurement is Physiologic
more variable? Anatomic or
Physiologic?
Is clinical training necessary for NO
collecting injury data?
,AIS is based on what three (3) 1) anatomically- based
factors? 2) consensus driven
3) global
Severity is NOT contingent upon 1) Outcome
what two (2) factors? 2) time
Numerical ranking of severity: 1 minor
Numerical ranking of severity: 2 moderate
Numerical ranking of severity: 3 serious
Numerical ranking of severity: 4 severe
, Numerical ranking of severity: 5 critical
Numerical ranking of severity: 6 maximum (currently untreatable)
Is mortality a sole determinant NO
of AIS severity?
Are all AIS data comparable NO (updates)
from year to year?
Is "DEATH" part of the severity NO
scale?
Is a patient who dies NO (patients w/ minor injuries can die)
automatically assigned the
highest AIS severity of 6?
