The objective of this study was to determine the facial injury severity scale scores amongst motorcyclists and the level of driving safety standards being practiced.

Renal trauma was classified based on the American association for the surgery of trauma (AAST) kidney injury severity scale (Table 1).

From October 2004 to July 2008,236 consecutive patients with moderate and severe TBI according to the Head
Injury Severity Scale (HISS) criteria [56] were admitted to the Department of Neurosurgery at St.
The
Injury Severity Scale (ISS) total score is calculated by summing the squares of the highest AIS code in the three body regions with the most severe injury.
The AIS is an anatomically based
injury severity scale that scores each injury on a scale from 1 (relatively minor) to 6 (untreatable) within six body regions (head, face, chest, abdomen, limbs, and external).
The average ISS (
Injury Severity Scale; the higher the score the more severe the injury) was 3.5 (range: 1-10).
The patients' injury severity was coded using the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS), the most widely used anatomic
injury severity scale in the world (Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine 1990).
