OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess the ability of the International Classification of Diseases-based Injury Severity Score (ICISS) to detect preventable deaths, and to compare the performance of trauma care facilities. METHODS For 2 years, from 1997 to 1998, 131 trauma deaths and 1,087 blunt trauma inpatients from 6 emergency medical centers (EMCs) in Korea were reviewed. Trauma deaths were reviewed and the preventability of those deaths was judged by two professional panels…

TLDR
The EMR-ISS appears to be a feasible tool for passive injury surveillance of large data sets, such as insurance data sets or community injury registries containing diagnosis codes, and shows better calibration and discrimination power for prediction of death than the ICISS in most injury groups.
Life hazard ratio--a new scale for assessing the severity of injury in the populational stud.
TLDR
The proposed method of use of the International Classification ICD-10 allows the use of regional administrative databases to conduct detailed analyzes of population and monitor trends in the epidemiology of injuries.
Preventable trauma deaths.
TLDR
It is suggested to standardize the terminology for the classification of deaths and types of errors related to health care to describe methods of estimation and assess preventable deaths andtypes of errors associated with health care.
Classifying errors in preventable and potentially preventable trauma deaths: a 9-year review using the Joint Commission's standardized methodology.
Prehospital and in-hospital mortality: a comparison of intentional and unintentional traumatic brain injuries in Colorado children.
TLDR
Intentionality--independent of severity--raises the mortality of TBI in young children, with the effect increasing with increasing age.
Preventable death in trauma: A systematic review on definition and classification.
Canadian benchmarks in trauma.
TLDR
This is the first study to define national survival benchmarks for the Canadian trauma population and results can be used to assess survival of patients using the ICISS [(ICD-9) based Injury Severity Score (ISS)] methodology.
Survival prediction algorithms miss significant opportunities for improvement if used for case selection in trauma quality improvement programs.
Prehospital intubation and chest decompression is associated with unexpected survival in major thoracic blunt trauma
TLDR
This study used TRISS analysis to identify ‘ unexpected survivors’ suffering major thoracic trauma, who survived to hospital discharge, and determined prehospital interventions that appeared to contribute to ‘unexpected survival’.
Time for Change: The State of Emergency Medical Services in South Korea
TLDR
Trauma is the leading cause of death among people younger than 40 years of age in South Korea, yet little is being done to correct this growing problem.

Comparison of the Injury Severity Score and ICD-9 diagnosis codes as predictors of outcome in injury: analysis of 44,032 patients.
TLDR
The present study confirms previous work showing that survival risk ratios derived from injured patients' ICD-9 diagnoses codes are as good as or better than ISS as predictors of survival.
Validation of the International Classification of Diseases 10th Edition-based Injury Severity Score (ICISS).
TLDR
The ICISS methodology can be extended to ICD-10 horizon as a standard injury severity measure in the place of TRISS, especially when age and Revised Trauma Score were incorporated in the model.
Predictors of mortality in adult patients with blunt injuries in New York State: a comparison of the Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) and the International Classification of Disease, Ninth Revision-based Injury Severity Score (ICISS).
TLDR
The ICISS has promise as an alternative to TRISS, but many more comparative studies need to be undertaken using updated TRISS coefficients.
ICISS: an international classification of disease-9 based injury severity score.
TLDR
ICISS is a much better predictor of survival than ISS in injured patients and the use of the ICD-9 lexicon may avoid the need for AIS coding, and thus add an economic incentive to the statistical appeal of ICISS.
Analyses of preventable deaths by mechanism of injury among 13,500 trauma admissions.
TLDR
Preventable deaths were evaluated by mechanism of injury for 13,500 trauma admissions to eight hospitals over 2 years and problems were identified in the hospital care of patients, especially those with LF, leading to sepsis and multiple organ failure.
Comparison between TRISS and ASCOT methods in controlling for injury severity.
TLDR
The present research attempted to validate ASCOT using an independent trauma registry using all available prehospital and hospital records and concluded that neither index provides good statistical agreement between predicted and actual outcomes among either blunt or penetrating injury patients.
The ICD-9-based illness severity score: a new model that outperforms both DRG and APR-DRG as predictors of survival and resource utilization.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that an ICD-9-based predictive model (ICISS) can markedly outperform both DRG and APR-DRG as a predictor of survival, hospital length of stay, and hospital charges.
Evaluation of the medical management and preventability of death in 137 road traffic fatalities in Victoria, Australia: an overview. Consultative Committee on Road Traffic Fatalities in Victoria.
TLDR
Organizational and educational counter measures are required to reduce the high frequency of problems in emergency services and clinical management in Victoria, Australia.
Predicting survival, length of stay, and cost in the surgical intensive care unit: APACHE II versus ICISS.
TLDR
Because ICISS is both more accurate and much less expensive to calculate than APACHE II score, ICISS should replace APAC HE II score as the standard risk stratification tool in surgical ICUs.

The value of the TRISS method for interhospital comparisons of trauma care was studied using data for 5,616 consecutive patients from three trauma centers and five community hospitals. Z-scores were…
