Abstract

In this paper, retrospectively calculated New Injury Severity Score (NISS) was compared with the prospectively calculated ISS from data derived from the trauma registry of the Trauma Services of the Auckland Hospital as to which test is a better predictor of patient outcome, which is defined as the likelihood of death. The area under curve (AUC) for ISS and NISS were computed using the non-parametric approach. AUC for ISS=0.95835 and AUC for NISS=0.97350, p lt 0.012. Misclassification rate for ISS was 2.77% and the value for NISS was 2.43%.
