Abstract
The injury severity scores can estimate the prognosis and risk of complications after a trauma. They serve as important adjuncts in triage, patient care, and research. Furthermore, they can be used for evaluation of hospital resource utilization and cost-effectiveness studies in trauma. They consist of complex mathematical equations in which variable qualitative and quantitative data are standardized and transformed into a single value, which represents the clinical conditions and prognosis of the patient shortly after injury.
