[Short- and long-term outcome of 250 patients admitted in surgical intensive care units after multiple injuries].
Two hundred and fifty polytrauma patients (mean age: 30 years) had been hospitalizated in the same trauma center, along a period of two years. Hospital mortality rate was 33% (11% in the first day). The mean I.S.S. of alive patients was 25, and 35 for dead patients. Long term survey was analysed by three questionnaires (before one year, between one and two years and after two years). Answer rate was about 80%. Sixty hundred p. cent of patients worked less than one year after multiple trauma, and 80% between one and two years; 75% noted that their family life was normal less than one year after injury; 80% presented sequelae two years after; they were subjective in 60% of cases. These sequelae did not interfere with family life or work. There was no parallelism between objective sequelae and duration of work stop in one side and gravity of lesions (I.S.S.) in other side.
