Key facts

Injury severity score NACA
Injury severity score
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.[PMID28407809][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.
