[Judgement of prognosis in multiple trauma of patients with blunt abdominal injuries based on different useful trauma scores].
The use of trauma indices for characterisation of polytraumatized patients concerning prognoses is being discussed for nearly 30 years. In the seventies a couple of trauma indices were developed. Some of them are in use all over the world. In the Department for Trauma surgery in the General Hospital of Salzburg three of the common trauma scores were analysed and compared with one another: Injury Severity Score (Baker), Polytraumascore of the University Clinic of Hannover, Trauma index (Schreinlechner and Eber). As a rule most studies presently published are based on the Injury Severity Score. In a retrospective analysis of 62 polytraumatized patients we could show that the Trauma index of Schreinlechner and Eber is more practicable for classification of polytrauma because it shows a good correlation of score, fatality and prognoses.
