The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is an established medical score to assess trauma severity. [1] [2] It correlates with mortality, morbidity and hospitalization time after trauma. It is used to define the term major trauma. A major trauma (or polytrauma) is defined as the Injury Severity Score being greater than 15. [2]
In the majority of cases, emergency medical care is required: for example. vertebral injury with neurological deficit, severe asthma attack; drug poisoning. NACA V Acute danger: for example, third grade skull or brain trauma, severe heart attack, significant opioid poisoning. NACA VI respiratory and/or cardiac arrest--- NACA VII death---
However the coded data is often used for other purposes too; including reimbursement practices such as medical billing. ICD has a hierarchical structure, and coding in this context, is the term applied when representations are assigned to the words they represent. [ 30 ]

Severity category examples [ edit ] When used as part of an aviation hazard analysis, "Severity" describes the outcome (the degree of loss or harm) that results from an occurrence (an aircraft accident or incident).
Risk is the lack of certainty about the outcome of making a particular choice. Statistically, the level of downside risk can be calculated as the product of the probability that harm occurs (e.g., that an accident happens) multiplied by the severity of that harm (i.e., the average amount of harm or more conservatively the maximum credible amount of harm).
A mass casualty incident (often shortened to MCI) describes an incident in which emergency medical services resources, such as personnel and equipment, are overwhelmed by the number and severity of casualties. [1] For example, an incident where a two-person crew is responding to a motor vehicle collision with three severely injured people could ...
