In traffic severe accidents accompanied by polytraumata reach more and more importance to traumatology. We explored our own patients with regard to the coincidence of such accidents with juvenile and senior age and found out a very high risk in the age groups between 16 and 25 years. The causes could be little experience, readiness for risks and overrating their own talent. Elder persons driving motor vehicles are also very often involved in traffic accidents. In this group polytraumata however are not so frequent compared to many accidents without severe consequences. Polytraumatisized patients are very important as to the costs in the health and social system. In any case they cause a considerable economical loss.
在伴有多发伤的交通严重事故中，创伤学的重要性日益凸显。我们针对此类事故与青少年及老年人年龄的相关性，对自己的患者进行了研究，发现16至25岁年龄组的风险非常高。原因可能是经验不足、冒险意愿以及对自身能力的高估。驾驶机动车的老年人也经常卷入交通事故。然而，在这一群体中，与许多没有严重后果的事故相比，多发伤并不那么常见。多发伤患者对于卫生和社会系统的成本而言非常重要。无论如何，他们都会造成相当大的经济损失。
