In this study, maximum number of patients were with AIS score of 2, second highest being with AIS score 3. Maximum average duration of hospital stay was seen with AIS score of 5 and with score 4.Above results indicates that AIS score for any organ injury have a significant impact on the clinical presentation, management and outcome of any injury.Further studies are required prove either these results are significant or merely coincidental.
