The definition of polytrauma revisited: An international consensus process and proposal of the new 'Berlin definition'

摘要

Based on several consensus meetings and a database analysis, the expert panel proposes the following parameters for a definition of "polytrauma": significant injuries of three or more points in two or more different anatomic AIS regions in conjunction with one or more additional variables from the five physiologic parameters. Further validation of this proposal should occur, favorably by mutivariate analyses of these parameters in a separate data set.
