[Predicting the outcome of nerve suture].

The late results of nerve suture were studied in 398 patients with injury of one or more nerves and coding cards containing formalized data of the primary examination of the patients and the operative data were filled in. After mathematical processing of these data on an electronic computer (CBM-6000) using the linear regression method, 4 formulas were obtained from which a physician practicing in any field of medicine can prognosticate in 5-7 min the degree of restoration of the limb function and the working rehabilitation of individuals who had suffered injury of the nerves.

[Probabilistic assessment of the severity of the condition of patients with craniocerebral injuries].

The probability of a fatal outcome of the given case is taken for the index of the severity of the injury. The concept of the scale of conditions is introduced and the method for constructing the index of severity, total lethality and structure of the injury depending on the patient's condition is described. Some approaches to the construction of the condition scales are discussed (expert approach, Glasgow's coma scale, probability ratio logarithm scale).
