The inpatient constitutes at different level of SCL-90 total mark showed normal distribution. The every factor mark of SCL-90 was also higher than that of domestic norm (P < 0.01). The former four factors were melancholy, anxiety, horror and psychosis. The SCL-90 factors mark had an increased trend along with injury severity score (RISS).
