[Prognosis quoad vitam in patients with multiple injuries. Preliminary report].
A numerically reproducible subdivision by higher and lower chances of survival is suggested in this paper, on the basis of discriminance analysis, for quoad vitam prognostication of patients with severe multiple injuries. The analysis was based on 90 patients with severe multiple injuries under intensive care. Ten severely polytraumatised patients, admitted to hospital from emergency ambulances were evaluated as controls. The subdivision mode prepared provided satisfactory separation and distinction. False assessments accounted for 5.5 per cent of all cases. In no case had survivors been grouped in the low-chance survival category.
