[Objective assessment of trauma severity in patients with combined injuries].

The work presents an analysis of using scales VPH-P(MT) and VPH-P(SP) on the basis of a retrospective investigation of results of treatment of 268 patients with a combined injury of the abdomen. A conclusion is made that these scales have reserves for an improvement. The authors propose to supplement the scale VPH-P(SP) with the index of the patient's age, and the scale VPH-P(MT)--with an index of the blood loss volume.
