CAISS question with complete solution 2023Origins of AIS (3) - correct answer 1) Standardized system 2) Classify type/severity of injury from MVC 3) Consensus Injury descriptors are organized _________________________ ? - correct answer Anatomically Injury severity is ranked relative to its importance to _______________? - correct answer The whole body AIS reflects severity of single injuries and are unaffected by what three things? - correct answer 1) time 2) sequela 3) outcome What type of scale does AIS use? - correct answer 6 point ordinal scale Which type of measurement is more variable? Anatomic or Physiologic? - correct answer Physiologic Is clinical training necessary for collecting injury data? - correct answer NO AIS is based on what three (3) factors? - correct answer 1) anatomically- based 2) consensus driven 3) global Severity is NOT contingent upon what two (2) factors? - correct answer 1) Outcome 2) time Numerical ranking of severity: 1 - correct answer minor Numerical ranking of severity: 2 - correct answer moderate Numerical ranking of severity: 3 - correct answer serious Numerical ranking of severity: 4 - correct answer severe Numerical ranking of severity: 5 - correct answer critical Numerical ranking of severity: 6 - correct answer maximum (currently untreatable) Is mortality a sole determinant of AIS severity? - correct answer NO Are all AIS data comparable from year to year? - correct answer NO (updates) Is "DEATH" part of the severity scale? - correct answer NO Is a patient who dies automatically assigned the highest AIS severity of 6? - correct answer NO (patients w/ minor injuries can die) Does a linear relationship exist between AIS severity codes? - correct answer NO (AIS 4 is more, NOT twice as severe as AIS 2) Are all injuries within the same AIS code strictly compatible? - correct answer NO (tibia fx & alveolar ridge are both AIS - 2, although one may be worse than the other, both are considered 'moderate') What AIS code is assigned to a patient with inadequate information regarding an injury? - correct answer 9
