Bridging classification for injury diagnoses that can be converted to both the International Classification of Diseases and the Abbreviated Injury Scale

Abstract: Once injuries are coded using the bridging classification, the ICD and AIS codes are readily available. Integrating the new bridging classification into the ICD-11, possibly as a clinical modification, would eliminate the necessity of complicated procedures for code conversion and duplicate coding, and benefit users by building on the strengths of both the ICD and AIS.

“…The injuries were divided into nine body regions; head, neck, face, thorax, abdomen, spine, upper extremities, lower extremities (including pelvic fractures) and external in accordance with the Abbreviate Injury Score (AIS) [ 9 ]. Injuries were scored as isolated injury or multiple injuries in case of polytrauma.…”

“…In case of multiple injuries, the AIS was used to score the severity of the injured body regions ranging from 1 (minor injury e.g., contusion or simple fracture) up to 6 (untreatable injuries e.g., spinal cord transection above the level of C3, traumatic brain injury including brain stem laceration or massive bleeding) [ 9 , 10 ].…”

“…In addition, ICD coding is known to be complex and difficult, and the results obtained from it vary greatly depending on the skill level and proficiency of each in-dividual coder [7]. Computers and automation can enable and inspire new ways of working [8], and computer-assisted systems can significantly improve the efficiency of ICD coding and reduce labor waste [9].…”
