Epidemiology of severe combined trauma in a megalopolis

This work is based on the results of studying 455 victims with a combined trauma, urgently admitted to the reanimation-and-anesthesiology department of the Ufa Municipal Clinical Hospital within 2001-2006. The combined trauma takes place predominantly among the population of able-bodied age (83,3 %) and mainly in male subjects (61 %), leading to high lethality(36,5 %). In most cases combined trauma reasons are traffic injuries (59,6 %), high falls (27 %), designed injuries (7,7 %). Every third person is admitted in the condition of alcohol intoxication. Among the victims of traffic accidents in a megalopolis pedestrians predominate to a great extent (82,3 %). For all the cohort the frequency of hospitalizations differs reliably in seasons of year (р=0,021), days of week (p=0,007), time within twenty-four hours (p
