Methods have been developed for standardizing diagnosis in different classes of hospital for the assessment of severity in terms of the patient's age, sex, physical signs, head and spine injuries and other injuries. Estimates have been made of the number of preventable deaths by a case control study of each category of neurotrauma under study. | | Journal Title | Australian & New Zealand Journal of Surgery | | Journal Volume (Issue) | 56(7) | | Page Range | 557-566 | | Page Count | 10 | | Notes | available from CASR library on request |
