Comparison of Current Injury Scales for Survival Chance Estimation: An Evaluation Comparing the Predictive Performance of the ISS, NISS, and AP Scores in a Dutch Local Trauma Registration

Abstract

The AP and NISS scores particularly both managed to outperform the ISS score in correctly predicting survival chances among a Dutch trauma population. Trauma registries stratifying injuries by the ISS score should evaluate the use of the NISS and AP scores.
