Objectives: To obtain a better estimate of the mortality of individualssuffering from blunt force trauma, including co-morbidity. Methodology: TheInjury severity Score (ISS) is the default world standard for assessing theseverity of multiple injuries. ISS is a mathematical fit to empirical fielddata. It is demonstrated that ISS is proportional to the Gibbs/Shannon Entropy.A new Entropy measure of morbidity from blunt force trauma includingco-morbidity is derived based on the von Neumann Entropy, called theAbbreviated Morbidity Scale (AMS). Results: The ISS trauma measure has beenapplied to a previously published database, and good correlation has beenachieved. Here the existing trauma measure is extended to include theco-morbidity of disease by calculating an Abbreviated Morbidity Score (AMS),which encapsulates the disease co-morbidity in a manner analogous to AIS, andon a consistent Entropy base. Applying Entropy measures to multiple injuries,highlights the role of co-morbidity and that the elderly die at much lowerlevels of injury than the general population, as a consequence of co-morbidity.These considerations lead to questions regarding current new car assessmentprotocols, and how well they protect the most vulnerable road users. Keywords:Blunt Force Trauma, Injury Severity Score, Co-morbidity, Entropy.
