title: [Trauma risk score in accident victims].
abstract: A new method of estimation of trauma victim risk is presented. This new score--UWR--trauma risk score is created by multiplication product of LSO value and logarithmic age index. The influence of age of trauma patient on all stages of "trauma disease" is proved in two groups of trauma victims, contain 2485 and 3407 patients. Frequency of accidents, localisation and severity of injuries, and on results of treatment depends on age. This is the cause to consider an age into trauma scale. The new UWR is correlated not only with mortality, but a LSO with percentage and severity of disability.
