What is AIS?

The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) provides researchers with a simple numerical method for ranking and comparing injuries by severity and to standardize the terminology used to describe injuries.

The AIS is the foundation for the Injury Severity Score (ISS) which assesses the overall injury severity of the patient.

The AIS has been universally accepted. Accurate and consistent application of the AIS is fundamental to sound injury data collection globally.
