Abstract
Traumatic injury varies so widely between patients that it becomes critical to have a basis for standardizing care and quality outcome efforts. Methods to describe severity of traumatic injuries have been in evolution over the past 60 years, and have led the development of other scoring systems which now are used across all medical specialties. A variety of scoring systems have been developed, based on anatomic and/or physiologic grading. Anatomic grading has been found useful in helping determine management of abdominal injuries, but are not discrete enough to manage chest injuries on a real-time basis. However, they are vital for assessing treatment outcomes, and are the basis for quality improvement programs.
Keywords: Abbreviated injury severity score (AIS), injury severity score (ISS), revised trauma score (rTS), TRISS.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
