An Injury Priority Rating (IPR) model was developed to weight injuries in national accident files by their long-term societal consequences. The model calculated the estimated consequences of injury in dollars, with the main component of the cost being the predicted net loss of productivity as a result of injury or fatality. The new model, termed Multi-Injury Priority Rating (MIPR), refines the original model by taking into account the cumulative effect of several injuries for a single person. The study found that the combination of head, face, and neck injuries accounted for 62 percent of total MIPR to passenger car occupants.
