Rough Non-deterministic Information Analysis (RNIA) is a rough set-based data analysis framework for Nondeterministic Information Systems (NISs). RNIA-related algorithms and software tools developed so far for rule generation provide good characteristics of NISs and can be successfully applied to decision making based on non-deterministic data. In this paper, we extend RNIA by introducing stabi...

Data swapping is a statistical disclosure limitation practice that alters records in the data to be released by switching values of attributes across pairs of records in a fraction of the original data. Web Services are an exciting new form of distributed computing that allow users to invoke remote applications nearly transparently. National Institute of Statistical Sciences (NISS) has recently...

Background Well-known trauma mortality prediction scores such as New Injury Severity Score (NISS), Revised Trauma Score (RTS), and Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) have been externally validated from high-income countries with established trauma databases. However, these scores were never used in Malaysian population. In this current study, we attempted to validate these scoring systems...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients involved in road traffic accidents according to the New Injury Severity Score (NISS). METHODS In this study, medical records of 1,048 patients admitted at three hospitals located in different regions between January and December 2014 were retrospectively reviewed.

PURPOSE To assess the correlation between the presence of lamina fractures, narrowing of the spinal canal, and the severity of injury. METHODS Records of 146 men and 44 women aged 13 to 84 (mean, 39) years diagnosed with burst fractures of the thoracolumbar spine were retrospectively reviewed. The laminar fractures and narrowing of the spinal canal were measured using computed tomography. The...
