title: [Pediatric trauma score in clinical practice: retrospective study].
abstract: In traumatological practice there is so far no uniform view as regards the classification of injuries. The authors recommend to do away with the vague traumatological terminology and replace in by a similar classification: to use the term "monotrauma" when one bodily system is affected and the term "associated injury" when two or more systems are effected; to use for more accurate definition of the severity of injury a scoring system. For paediatric traumatological practice the Pediatric Trauma Score P.T.S./is simple and suited best. The authors evaluated in a retrospective study a group of 257 children associated injuries. Based on the results of this investigation the authors consider P.T.S. a suitable scoring system for the objective evaluation of the general condition of the injured child and recommend its introduction into practice.
