Trial Outcomes & Findings for Causes and Circumstances of Horse Related Injuries and Impact on Quality of Life (NCT NCT00935428)

Results Overview

The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is based upon the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and is calculated by dividing the body into 6 regions. Each region is scored on a scale of 1 (minor severity/better) to 5 (most severity/worse). ISS total score is calculated by squaring each of the 3 most severely injured body regions, then summing the three squared numbers. Total ISS score can range from 3 to 75.
