RESUMO
The method of estimation of the injury severity and the traumatic disease course prognostication was improved and introduced into practice, trying to optimize the choice of the treatment--diagnostic tactic in injured persons with closed combined abdominal trauma (CCAT). Application of the improved anatomic--functional model permits to estimate severity and to prognosticate the course of the traumatic disease in injured persons with CCAT with trustworthiness (81.7 +/- 4.7)% (P < 0.01). The point criteria of the prognosis gradation of the traumatic disease course were named as "favorable", "doubtful" and "unfavorable". In "unfavorable" prognosis the performance of a staged surgical treatment, according to the "damage control" method, is indicated.
