 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 17 New injury severity score and evaluation of relevant literature and Statistics [Abstract] Objective statistical analysis since 1997, the new injury severity score (NISS) has been proposed in the research and its applications and the injury severity score (ISS) and other trauma comparison and NISS scoring system application. Methods NISS PubMed database search for the keywords by December 1, 1997 ~ August 31, 2008 with the NISS-related research literature on statistical analysis of the results of the study. Results A total of 57 hits, 26 of which related to non-ISS and NISS comparison, the remaining 24 of 31 in comparison displayed by the NISS in terms of prognosis is not less than ISS, where the sample size ranged from 1,000 to 10,000 of the research suggests that NISS than ISS, sample sizegt; 10,000 or lt;10,000 study The results suggest NISS is superior or equivalent to the ISS. Only one study suggests that in the “65-year-old patients, the survival probability in terms of ISS and NISS same, but the occupancy rate and ICU length of stay ISS than NISS. Conclusion NISS over ISS in prognosis and calculate the superiority of NISS replace ISS as we will provide the basis.
