LOINC long common name : Injury severity score NACA;
LOINC short name : ISS NACA;
LOINC description : The NACA (National Committee of Aeronautics) score system is an eight-level scale
used to describe the disease or injury severity in patients treated by emergency medical
services (EMS) where 0 represents no injury or disease and 7 represents lethal injuries
or diseases (or death). The NACA score is defined by the most serious clinical state
experienced at any time during the EMS event.[PMID: 28407809][PMID: 26507648] The
NACA scoring system was introduced during the Vietnam war for accidents in aviation.
Several versions of the scoring system currently exist, including scoring in either
roman or arabic numerals and a seven-level scale where 0 is omitted.;
