The Abbreviated Scaled Injury ( AIS ) is an anatomical coding system made by the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine to classify and describe the severity of injuries. This is a threat to life related to injury rather than a comprehensive assessment of the severity of the injury. AIS is one of the most common anatomical scales for traumatic injury. The first version of this scale was published in 1969 with major updates in 1976, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1998, 2005, 2008 and 2015

The score describes three aspects of injury using seven numbers written as 12 (34) (56).7
- Type
- Locations
- Severity
Each number signifies
- 1- body region
- 2- type of anatomical structure
- 3.4- a specific anatomical structure
- 5.6- level
- 7- Scores severity Severity
- Functional capacity index
- Injury severity score

The abbreviated injury score code is on a scale of one to six, one minor injury and six being maximal (currently untreatable). AIS 6 code is not an arbitrary code for a deceased patient or a fatal injury, but the code for injury specifically specifies the severity of AIS 6. The AIS 9 code is used to describe injuries for which there is not enough information for more detailed encoding, eg. destroying the wound on the head.
The AIS scale is a gauge for a single injury. A universally accepted injury aggregation function has not been proposed, although the severity score of the injury and its derivatives is a better aggregator for use in clinical settings. In other settings such as automotive design and occupant protection, MAIS is a useful tool for comparison of specific injuries and their relative severity and changes in frequencies that may result from the development of motor vehicle design.
