[Evaluation of vital prognosis in gas gangrene by a method of multivariate analysis of the results of the initial clinical examination].
Prognosis value of initial clinical symptoms and findings in gas gangrene was evaluated in 72 patients. Fifty eight parameters were recorded. The relationship between the simultaneous effects of several variables upon survival was accomplished using the multivariate technique, discriminant analysis. On the basis of observed patients deaths or survivals, the individual condition weights were statistically derived in a manner that best distinguishes likely survivors from nonsurvivors. Six variables out of the 58 studied gave right classification of outcomes in 97 p. 100 of the patients.
