Advanced age is reported to be an important negative prognostic factor for the final functional outcome in patients after craniocerebral injury. Worse prognosis can also be expected in the presence of significant brain contusion, requiring surgical treatment because of expansive behaviour. Definite adverse influence of alcohol intoxication at the time of injury has not been proven by current literature data. The aim of the study is to analyse the importance of the above mentioned factors for the treatment outcome in patients operated on for craniocerebral injury. ⋯ The impact of age on the final treatment outcome in patients with craniocerebral injury was proven. The study did not show significant deleterious effect of alcohol intoxication at the time of injury on the final outcome.
