Road traffic accidents cause significant trauma to the population and are one of the main causes of mortality in working age. The novelty of the study risk-oriented patterns of severity of damage and mortality of victims of road accidents have been established. The aim - to create of a fundamental basis for the formation of clinical routes and protocols for victims of road accidents by establishing and verification the relationship between the severity of damage and the death of the victims. Material and methods. An analysis of 1,696 cases of road traffic injuries was carried out, and the standardized New Injury Severity Score (NISS) assessment system was used. Results. A probable, but indirect dependence of the clinical effective risk of a negative outcome of the traumatic process in victims on the severity of the damage was established. It was established that the sign of participation in the traffic the formation of clinical effective risks of a negative outcome of the traumatic process, starting with the severity of damage according to the NISS with 25 points. With the same qualitative characteristics, pedestrians have the highest risk of fatality, drivers have the lowest risk. The synergistic effect of the severity of damage and the clinical and anatomical form of the injury was established. Conclusions. The risk of a fatal outcome of a road traffic injury in general directly depends on the severity of damage to the victim, although the dependence is not direct. The clinical and anatomical form of damage together with the severity of the damage have a synergistic effect on the formation of the clinically effective risk of mortality in victims of a road traffic accident, and the predominant influence is the clinical and anatomical form of damage. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.
