ABSTRACT
The structure and the circumstances of injury were studied in patients with severe TBI. 110 cases were studied retrospectively. More than 70% of the patients were from 20 to 60 years old, most of them men (80,91%). The main cause of injury was road accident (59,09%). 56,36% of patients were taken to hospital within the first hour after the accident. The average score by Glasgow scale was 8 (6;12). Lowest scores were registered in patients after railroad accidents [7,5(5;10)], in pedestrians [8(5;12)] and passengers [9 (6;12)] after road accidents and in criminal trauma cases [9,5(8;11)]. The most severe injuries by PTS scale were registered in patients after railroad accidents [50(44;56)], in criminal trauma cases [39(36;41)] and in pedestrians [31(22;42)]. The injuries were often accompanied by subarachnoid hemorrhage (46,36%). The most often outcome among patients with intracerebral hematoma, intraventricular hemorrhage, chest and pelvis injury was death. Thus we carried out retrospective analysis and studied the structure and the circumstances of TBI in Rostov on Don.
