Methods： This was a retrospective review of registry data from 2 286 multiple trauma patients consecutively registered into the EICU from January 1,1997 to December 31, 2006 in the Second Affiliated Hospital, Medical School of Zhejiang University in China. Comparisons between ISS and NISS were made using misclassification rates, ROC curve analysis, and the H-L statistics by univariate and multivariate logistic progression model. Results： Among the 2 286 patients, 176 （7.7%） were excluded because of deaths on arrival or patients less than 16 years of age. The study population therefore comprised 2 1 10 patients. Mean EICU length of stay （LOS） was 7.8 days ± 2.4 days. Compared with the blunt injury group, the penetrating injury group had a higher percentage of male, lower mean EICU LOS and age. The most frequently injured body regions were extremities and head/neck, followed by thorax, face and abdomen in the blunt injury group; whereas, thorax and abdomen were more frequently seen in the penetrating injury group. The minimum misclassification rate for NISS was slightly less than ISS in all groups （4.01% versus 4.49%）. However, NISS had more tendency to misclassify in the penetrating injury group. This, we noted, was attributed mainly to a higher false-positive rate （21.04% versus 15.55% for IS S, t=-3.310, P〈0.001）, resulting in an overall misclassification rate of 23.57% for NISS versus 18.79% for ISS （t=3.290, P〈0.001）. In the whole sample, NISS presented equivalent discrimination （area under ROC curve： NISS=0.938 versus ISS=0.943）. The H-L statistics showed poorer calibration （48.64 versus 32.11, t=3.305, P〈0.001） in the penetrating injury group. Conclusions： NISS should not replace ISS because Lhey share similar accuracy and calibration in predicting multiple blunt trauma patients. NISS may be more sensitive but less specific than ISS in predicting mortality in certain penetrating injury patients.展开更多
