[The prediction of the cranioplasty outcomes after gunshot wounds of the skull and brain].

A number of application programs for IBM PC AT was worked out to meet the requirements of a new method applied for prognostication of cranioplasty results in patients with craniocerebral injuries. This method uses an old one based on Bayes formula. The authors analysed 155 craniocerebral injuries which were inflicted in Afghanistan in the period from September 1984 till November 1988. It was proved that such methods increase the accuracy of prognostication as far as the outcomes of reconstructive operations for gunshot craniocerebral injuries are concerned.
