Severity Scoring

A descriptive severity scoring system for injuries to the hand, distal to the carpus, has been designed. Each ray of the hand is assessed separately. Each ray’s score is then multiplied by a weighting factor for that ray and added to the scores of the other rays to obtain a total score for the injury. This system has been tested on a series of specimen injuries and compared with the opinion of experienced hand surgeons. A retrospective study of hand injuries has also been conducted, and the Hand Injury Severity Score (HISS) has been found to closely correlate with return to work. Four grades of increasing severity of hand injury have been described. Although this system has been designed as a research tool, it is envisaged that it would be a useful immediate measure of severity and a guide to likely outcome.

Further Development

The Hand Injury Severity Score was retrospectively applied to a group of workers’ compensation cases in Wisconsin, USA. A statistically significant correlation was found between the score and the time interval between injury and the end of healing. These results are comparable to the findings in the original study of Campbell and Kay (1996) . We provide some suggestions for further development of this scoring system.

Introduction: Due to the increasing mortality rate from trauma, determining the severity of injury has a very important role in the prognosis of the injured person. On the other hand, the quality of medical care provided to the casualties is evaluated using the Trauma Scoring System. Various scales were used to determine the trauma severity of injured. In this study, the most commonly used tools are investigated. Methods: This review was conducted by searching throughout the Persian data bases of Magiran, Barakat, SID and English databases of Scopus, Web of sciences, PubMed, and Google scholar. To conduct the search, the following keywords were used: "Severity of Trauma", "Trauma scoring", and "Trauma Scoring System" without considering any time intervals. Our early search resulted in 2125 articles. Finally, 17 articles were analyzed and different functions of traumatic assessment tools were compared and studied. Results: Traumatic assessment methods vary based on the anatomical and physiological parameters and composition of these two methods. In this study, the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS), Injury Severity Score (ISS), and New Injury Severity Score (NISS) were considered as anatomical parameters; Revised Trauma Score (RTS) as physiological parameters; Trauma Score Injury Severity Score (TRISS) and A Severity Characterization of Trauma (ASCOST) were mentioned as a hybrid ranking system. Conclusion: Application of accurate scientific evaluations in trauma severity assessment methods and application of each method in its appropriate position would result in appropriate improvements in the development of trauma care.  In addition, these systems can play an important role in providing care to patients with traumatic injuries in the present and future.

Degree Of Severity

Many scoring systems were introduced to search prognostic value in trauma patients. Facial trauma is a special trauma because it can cause many disabilities in facial function. There have been several reports on facial severity scoring system, such as Facial Injury Severity Score (FISS) and Maxillofacial Injury Severity Score (MFISS). Although these scoring systems have been introduced in many journals, they are not yet used by many clinicians because of their unawareness of its beneficiary. In this study, we want to introduce and apply these scoring systems in our maxillofacial data, thus it can be used for documentation system, as a research tool, and have prediction value for prognosis We retrospectively collected data on patients with facial trauma in Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital in 2009. The data collected were age, gender, etiology, use of helmet, type of fracture and treatment given. Each patient then evaluated by FISS score to obtain their degree of severity. Using FISS score introduced by Bagheri, we found the average FISS score ini this evaluation was 3,37 ± 1,9, with minimum value 1 and maximum value 9. Most patients have FISS score 2 (24,7%). From FISS scoring system, we found that most of maxillofacial trauma in Cipto Mangunkusumo hospital in 2009 was mild trauma. In order to evaluate if FISS scoring system has predictive value for prognosis, a large sample and complete maxillofacial database are needed.
