title: [Analysis of patients of multiple injuries with AIS-ISS and its clinical significance in the evaluation of the emergency managements].
abstract: 230 consecutive cases of multiple injuries (1978-1990) were evaluated retrospectively with AIS-ISS; the overall mortality was 16.96% (39 deaths); and of the 51 cases with MSOF, the mortality rate was 49% (25 deaths), It is suggested: (1) The mortality rate was directly related to ISS. In case the ISS was > 50, the mortality rate would increase in two-folds. (2) Prehospital support, intensive care, timely operation, prevention of MSOF consisted to be the crucial problems of increasing the survival rate and would be the basic factors of AIS-ISS. (3) Other factors such as patients age, delayed transport, systemic organ function, misdiagnosis, faulty management and limitation of medical facilities would all take part in the lack of efficiency of ISS.
