Origins of AIS (3) - Answer-1) Standardized system
2) Classify type/severity of injury from MVC
3) Consensus
Injury descriptors are organized
_________________________ ? - Answer-Anatomically
Injury severity is ranked relative to its importance to
_______________? - Answer-The whole body
AIS reflects severity of single injuries and are unaffected
by what three things? - Answer-1) time
2) sequela
3) outcome

scale
Which type of measurement is more variable? Anatomic or
Physiologic? - Answer-Physiologic
