SHOWICD: a computer program to display ICD-9CM coded injury diagnoses and their corresponding injury severity scores for a particular patient.
SHOWICD is an interactive computer program designed to document severity of injury from the ICD-9CM coded injury diagnoses of a particular patient. Two severity-of-injury scores [the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and the Injury Severity Score (ISS)] are used. By employing the AIS scores, the severity of injury may be assessed per body region. The ISS provides an over-all index or summary score for severity of injury of the whole body. SHOWICD allows the user to analyze the effects of different types of injuries on the Injury Severity Score. SHOWICD may be employed either alone as a program or as a procedure in database management systems. The program is written in Turbo Pascal.
