The classification of injuries is based on the Revised Abbreviated Maxillofacial Injury Scale (RAMIS).

Parameters:

(1) highest ISS

(2) second highest ISS

(3) third highest ISS

RFISS =

= ((highest ISS)^2) + (second highest) + (third highest)

Interpretation:

• minimum score: 1

• maximum score: 32

• The higher the RFISS the more severe the injury.
