Abstract
BACKGROUND: Most of the current scores and outcome prediction calculations in traumatology are based on the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS). However, this is not routinely used for documentation and coding of injuries in many countries, including Germany. Instead of the AIS, the International Classification of Diseases (ICD) is used. While the ICD functions as the basis for automated calculating of the diagnosis-related groups (DRG), no possibility of simple conversion of the 10th version of the ICD into AIS is available so far.
