متن کاملPenetrating abdominal trauma index: Sensitivity and specificity for morbidity and mortality by ROC analysis
Background: When developed in 1981 by Moore and colleagues the Penetrating Abdominal Trauma Index (PATI) was used to identify trauma patients at risk of postoperative complications.

In this paper it is shown that statistical mechanics in the form of thermodynamic entropy can be used as a measure of the severity of individual injuries (AIS), and that the correct way to account for multiple injuries is to sum the entropies. It is further shown that summing entropies according to the Planck-Boltzmann (P-B) definition of entropy is formally the same as ISS, which is why ISS wo...
