[Early death of the severly injured patient--A retrospective analysis].

With 44.9 % trauma is the main cause of death in men under 40 years. From September 3(rd) 1997 to June 30(th) 1998 174 patients with severe injuries or polytrauma were treated in our hospital. The mean ISS was 29 (18-75). 15 (8.75 %) patients died within the first 24 hours. ⋯ The mean ISS of these patients was 48 (25-75). In a retrospective study we analyzed the pattern of injury as well as the preclinical and clinical management. The fact that orthopedic surgery still has got a poor position within the patient's satisfaction-scale and that 15 of 174 analyzed patients had to die within the first 24 hours points out the importance of internal and external quality improvement measurements.

AbstractWith 44.9 % trauma is the main cause of death in men under 40 years. From September 3(rd) 1997 to June 30(th) 1998 174 patients with severe injuries or polytrauma were treated in our hospital. The mean ISS was 29 (18-75). 15 (8.75 %) patients died within the first 24 hours. The mean age was 34.5 (2-85) years. The mean ISS of these patients was 48 (25-75). In a retrospective study we analyzed the pattern of injury as well as the preclinical and clinical management. The fact that orthopedic surgery still has got a poor position within the patient's satisfaction-scale and that 15 of 174 analyzed patients had to die within the first 24 hours points out the importance of internal and external quality improvement measurements.
