We use both ISS and TRISS, anyone suggest better alternatives for children?
AIS (Abbreviated Injury Scale) is another good measure of trauma, and translates well for pediatric populations (http://www.aaam.org/about-ais.html).
I think it is the BIG score: Base excess, INR and Glasgow score because of it simplicity for prognosis
It all depends on what you want to measure. AIS is a severity scale, and the most commonly used. It is at anatomical severity scale. ISS is a combined outcome scale. If you want to measure outcome based one AIS scores (like ISS) I would rather recommend NISS or the newer severity measure, the Trauma Mortality Prediction
Model (TMPM), uses either the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) or DRG International Classification of DiseasesV9th Rev. (ICD-9) lexicons.
