      Citation Excerpt :

      The scaled severities assigned to each code in the AIS were originally intended to reflect more than mortality [2]. However, it has been known (and re-iterated) since the 1970s that AIS severities are weighted towards the likelihood of mortality [2–5]. In high income countries where mature trauma systems have brought about significant reductions in mortality, there has been a shift away from focusing on mortality-driven outcomes towards quantifying the extent of morbidity amongst the large proportion of trauma victims who survive their injuries [6–9].

      These body regions are the same as those used in the calculation of the Injury Severity Score. Despite its limitations, the Injury Severity Score is the most common scoring system for anatomic injuries used worldwide.18,19 Injuries to two or more body regions and an Injury Severity Score greater than 15 indicates multiple trauma.
