Abstract

The article highlights a retrospective study of 303 cases of completed clinical management of patients treated for ENT pathology complicated by purulent intracranial inflammatory diseases and sepsis, admitted to multi-specialty hospitals of the RF subjects during the period 2000–2014. To evaluate the condition of patients and changes in course of the disease, the integral and quantifying scores to assess the severity of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome were used: SOFA, which allows to evaluate the level of organ dysfunction, the APACHE II severity of disease score and the Glasgow coma scale. The outcome is directly dependent on early comprehensive diagnosis of injury to the vital organs and systems of the body, timely initiation of specialized treatment.
