ABSTRACT

The informativeness of clinical indicators for predicting lethal and favourable outcomes during the first 24 hours after a head trauma has been investigated. A pool of clinical findings about the status of 302 patients examined according to a uniform technique has been analyzed using a packet of the MEDSTAT-85 software. The authors present an optimal set of clinical signs for predicting fatal and favourable outcome within the first 24 hours after the trauma with an 83% probability rate.
