Popis: The incidence of severe head injury (SHI) varies between 20-30/100000. In the developed countries, the SHI contributes for over 50% of the dead outcomes among the trauma patients. Many investigations statistically prove that associated with SHI multisystem injuries negatively affect the outcome. In the present study we aim to investigate which organs and system having concomitant injury with SHI have a maximal negative influence to the outcome. We also aim to systematize the influencing factors, also to revise the treatment strategy. Our investigation is based on a cohort of 57 consecutive patients with dead outcome admitted to `St. Anna` Hospital for the period 2004 - 2006 year. The patients are classified according the localization of the associated injuries. A clinical-therapeutic classification was also made based on the severity of the patient`s condition, also according to the necessary urgent management. Scripta Scientifica Medica 2009; 41(1): 17-19.
