A Prognostic Index in Critical Care Medicine.

Abstract

The report introduces the concept of Euclidean distance to evaluate a trauma patient's clinical status. The notion of derangement or distance from normality has long been a guide for clinicians to evaluate a patient's condition. The concept is formalized and applied as a quantitative index of the severity of injury. (Author)
