AB Injuries  have  long  been  classified  in  terms  of  severity.  The  world’s  oldest  known  surgical  document,  the  Edwin  Smith  Surgical  Papyrus  (ca.  17th  century  BC),  classified  48  traumatic  injuries  from  ancient  Egyptian  battlefields  and  construction  sites  as  successfully  treatable,  possibly  curable,  or  untreatable.1  Such  predictions  about  patient  outcomes,  and  attempts  to  quantify  the  severity  of  injury,  are  today  the  realm  of  more  than  50  published  injury  severity  scores,  scales,  and  models.
