[Experience in computer-assisted construction of a decision rule for assessing the severity of the condition of patients with severe mechanical injuries during the posttraumatic period].

A retrospective analysis was made of clinical and laboratory findings from 96 patients admitted to a general resuscitation unit for severe mechanical injury and shock. The degree of experienced shock, score rate of shock production in an injury, parameters of central hemodynamics, biochemistry and coagulogram of mixed venous blood, acid-base balance of arterialized capillary blood were analyzed in all the affected patients. The data were processed by a computer by widely using the multifactor regression analysis and special conversion of homeostatic values. With the derived decision rule, the standardized severity was retrospectively calculated for the affected patients in the time course during the posttraumatic period and this assessment was demonstrated to be comparable with clinical findings.
