Abstract
The trauma scores provide a standardized database of autopsy findings. This may lead to increase in the quality of trauma treatment and assessment of preventable death. Recently, researchers have proposed a new injury severity score (NISS), which is computed as the simple sum of squares of the three most severe AIS injuries. The present study was undertaken to focus light upon the new injury severity score (NISS) of fatal thoracoabdominal injuries in Northeast Delhi. A total number of 93 cases were studied during a period of one and a half years. The highlights of the study are that the largest numbers of cases (51.6%) are in NISS 50–75 group. NISS has a mean of 46.59. There is a negative correlation between new injury severity score (NISS) and Ps with an r-value of −0.472 (p < 0.005). An increase in NISS leads to a decrease in period of survival.
