13. An Injury Severity Score (ISS) is a medical score used to assess the trauma severity and is calculated as follows: ➔ Each injury is assigned an Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) score in the range of 0- 5, with 0 being no injury sustained and 5 indicating significant injury sustained. These AIS scores are assigned to six regions of the body (head, face, chest, abdomen, extremities and external). As an example, a person after a major accident has the following AIS: [3 0 4 5 3 0], indicating that the person has suffered the most significant injury to their abdomen (score of 5), followed by chest (score of 4), followed by head and extremities (both a score of 3). They did not suffer any injury to their face or externals (both scored 0). ➔ The three most severely injured regions of the body (as determined by the AIS scores) have their individual AIS scores squared and added together to give the final ISS Write a MATLAB script that computes the ISS given an array of 6 AIS scores indicating injuries to the six aforementioned regions of the body. a. What is the ISS score for the following patients: i. Patient #1 with AIS score [0 3 4 5 3 0] ii. Patient #2 with AIS score [3 0 4 5 3 0] b. Bonus question for 10 points: What would the maximum ISS score be? (you do not need a script to answer this question)
