The complementary map developed to improve AIS98 to AIS08 conversion. One or more AIS08 code maps (as determined by panel) are listed for each of 153 AIS98 codes. The rationale for the likely exclusion of the AIS98 code from the AIS08 dictionary map (as discussed in the paper) is shown. Additional comments for use with free text descriptions are provided. Brief AIS98 and AIS08 code descriptors are provided for clarity only.

AIS98 codes identified to potentially benefit from free text description evaluation. The reason or reasons for evaluating free text descriptions (where available) are listed for each of the 217 AIS98 codes identified. AIS98 codes are localised to the map (dictionary or complementary) from which AIS08 maps may be obtained. A default AIS08 map is provided, as well as (where relevant) alternative or (in the case of injuries combined in AIS98) possible second AIS08 maps. Brief AIS98 and AIS08 code descriptors are provided for clarity only.
