Comparing Exponential Injury Severity Score (EISS) With Injury Severity Score (ISS) and New Injury Severity Score (NISS)

Trauma is defined as a physical injury from an external source of sudden onset and severity, which require immediate medical attention. Polytrauma is a short verbal equivalent commonly used for severely injured patients usually with associated injury (i.e., two or more severe injuries in at least two different areas of the body), less often with a multiple injury (i.e., two or more severe injuries in one body area). Polytrauma patients usually have a much higher risk of mortalities and disabilities than the risk of expected mortalities in individual injuries patients. Despite improvements in trauma systems worldwide, trauma continues to be one of the leading causes of death and disability in all age groups, especially the young and middle age group. Approximately 5.8 million people die each year due to trauma related injuries, representing 8% of the worldwide mortality. For studying the outcomes of trauma, accurate and reliable methodological tools are required for appropriate scoring of severity and outcome prediction. Trauma scores were designed to facilitate the triage of patients in the Emergency Room (ER) and identify patients with Polytrauma with low chances of survival. Those scores were meant to organize and improve the quality of trauma care systems, and to assess resources allocation. Trauma patients present to the emergency department (ED) with a great variety of injuries and diseases. To address these, the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) system defines the seve…
