Summary:In order to carry out the analysis of predictive values of some clinical and diagnostic features, 146 patients of the Neurosurgical Clinic of the Silesian School of Medicine, were examined in 1980-1986. All the patients were in coma when admitted while CT findings showed traumatic intracranial haematomas. The examination included neurological diagnosis and CT examination. The analysis of statistical discrimination let us specify the probability of predicting death or survival of every patient. On the basis of 10 prognostic factors applied, the compatibility of prognosis and the real outcome for patients who survived was 78.2% and for those who died 91.2%.
