Table 5 New Injury Severity Score (NISS) + Polytrauma + Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) + Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)

From: Combining the new injury severity score with an anatomical polytrauma injury variable predicts mortality better than the new injury severity score and the injury severity score: a retrospective cohort study
