This description is used to code the injury in AIS Code and describes the precise injury. The injury descriptor in AIS code (refer to AISCode CDE) comprises the six digits to the left of the dot; this pre-dot code contains values indicating AIS body region injured captured in AISBodyRegionChapterCat and the rest of information, such as, type of structure injured, specific anatomic structure injured, and level of injury, which should be entered in this DE. The injury is described in the pre-dot vocabulary terms for positions 2-6. Using controlled vocabulary from the corresponding version of AIS dictionary is highly recommended. Refer to AISCode for the corresponding AIS code. Consult the corresponding version of AIS dictionary for legal values.
