Article Synopsis
- Measuring injury severity is key for predicting clinical outcomes; the New Injury Severity Score (NISS) improves upon the traditional Injury Severity Score (ISS) by considering only the three most severe injuries regardless of location.
- A study analyzed the clinical profiles of trauma patients who underwent thoracotomy at a hospital over nearly two decades, examining various factors like demographics and injury severity using ISS and NISS.
- Results showed similar effectiveness in predicting mortality between the two scoring systems, emphasizing the need for healthcare professionals to understand and apply these scales correctly in practice.
