6 point ordinal scale

6. Which type of measurement is more variable? Anatomic or

Physiologic?:Ans-

-

Physiologic

7. Is clinical training necessary for collecting injury data?:Ans-

NO

8. AIS is based on what three (3) factors?:Ans-

1) anatomically- based

2) consensus driven

3) global

9. Severity is NOT contingent upon what two (2) factors?:Ans-

, maximum (currently untreatable)

16. Is mortality a sole determinant of AIS severity?:Ans-

NO

17. Are all AIS data comparable from year to year?:Ans-

NO (updates)

18. Is "DEATH" part of the severity scale?:Ans-

NO

19. Is a patient who dies automatically assigned the highest AIS severity of

6?:Ans-

NO (patients w/ minor injuries can die)

20. Does a linear relationship exist between AIS severity codes?:Ans-

NO (AIS 4 is more, NOT twice as severe as AIS 2)

21. Are all injuries within the same AIS code strictly compatible?:Ans-

NO (tibia fx

& alveolar ridge are both AIS - 2, although one may be worse than the other, both

are considered 'moderate')
