"The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) injury scoring scales are the most widely accepted and used system of classifying and categorising traumatic injuries. Injury grade reflects severity, guides management, and aids in prognosis. 32 different injury scores are available (c. 2019)."
"Injury is classified according to either imaging, operative, or pathologic criteria - the highest classification is assigned the final AAST grade 2. Grading of spleen, liver, and kidney injuries has been validated, with increasing grades of injury correlating with increasing mortality, operative rate, and hospitalisation cost 3."
"In the late 1980s, the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) formed an Organ Injury Scale (OIS) committee including trauma, orthopaedic surgery, urology, and neurosurgery specialists in order to create a more comprehensive classification. The first AAST OIS guidelines published in 1989 classified injuries of the spleen, liver, and kidney 5."
