Comparative Study
[Sequelae of injuries of thoracic vertebrae with spinal cord trauma in persons under the influence of alcohol].
An analysis of 416 patients treated at the Department of Rehabilitation for the trauma to thoracic spine is presented. Analysed group included 178 patients who underwent trauma being drunk. ⋯ Mortality rate is also lower in this group comparing to this in the group of patients being drunk during the accident. Statistical analysis of these date suggests high degree of the probability of interdependence of therapeutical results and sobriety of the victims.
