[Methods of improving the quality of emergency aid in acute neurologic pathology]

The quality of emergency aid in acute neurological pathology was assessed using the linear discriminant analysis of data obtained in 1436 cases. The aid may be substantially improved provided the questions of exactly targeted hospitalization be solved. The information obtained at the prehospital stage does not ensure the reliable differentiation between the 12 major forms of acute neurological states. The methods are designed allowing the correct choice of hospital for the patients' admission (infectious, toxicological, neurosurgical units) with due consideration of a minimum of clinico-anamnestic indices. This also makes possible the differentiation of the groups of patients needing emergency neurosurgery or intensive care.
