The centres were asked to grade all injuries according to the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 2005 or 2005-update 2008 [ 20], reporting the whole seven digit AIS code.
While most crash research datasets use Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) codes to identify injuries, most hospital datasets use the International Classification of Diseases, version 9 (ICD-9) codes.
We felt this better represented the data prior to 2005 and post 2005 AIS coding changes and therefore improved reliability of our data.
The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) coding system was used to classify the participants into the mild (NISS 1 3) and moderate (NISS 4 8) groups based on the NISS (MacEachen et al. 2010).
The injury database was screened for method of injury = sport, type of injury = blunt, region of injury = head, and abbreviated injury scale (AIS) severity score >= 2. The AIS was set at >=2 to avoid problems with changes in AIS coding that were implemented in 2010 in these ED but released in 2005 (Stewart et al. 2011).
For cases coded using ICD-10-CM, RISS (obtained from ICDPIC-R using the methods described) and ISSAIS (calculated by NTDB from AIS codes submitted by hospital trauma registrars) were compared after being categorized as recommended by Copes et al. (Copes et al., 1988) Observed mortality for each category of each method was compared.
The description for each AIS code is contained in the AIS dictionary.
Therefore, we grouped all such AIS codes as "penetrating injury" with no Marshall Class allocated.
AIS codes of 6 are automatically allocated an ISS of 75.
Major differences were found in the definition of survival and in AIS coding.

Since I tried Ludwig back in 2017, I have been constantly using it in both editing and translation. Ever since, I suggest it to my translators at ProSciEditing.
