The aim of this study was to compare the outcome and clinical course of multiple trauma patients with accidental or intentional (suicide related) fall from heights > 4 m. 211 patients with an injury severity score (ISS) > 17 were assigned to the following groups: I: intentional fall, n = 94; A: accidental fall, n = 117) and ISS (I: 28 +/- 1; A: 30 +/- 1), ventilation time (I: 16 +/- 2; A: 15 +/- 1) were not different. Significant differences were found in sex (m/f: I: 56/44; A: 73/27%), fractures of lumbarspine (I: 34; A: 15%), pelvis (I: 51; A: 38%), lower leg (I: 47; A: 20%), pilon (I: 15; A: 5%), and os calcis (I: 17; A: 9%). Liver lacerations occurred more often after intentional fall (I: 16; A: 6%). Single or multiple organ failure (MOF) was diagnosed significantly more often in group A(I: 1; A: 8%). Main cause of death in both groups was single or multiple organ failure (MOF: I: 47; A: 69%) or related to brain-injuries (I: 35; A: 19%). Prognosis and rehabilitation of multiple trauma patients after intentional fall is related to brain-injuries, spine-fractures and the functional outcome of the injured lower leg. Prognosis of patients after accidental fall is related to the development of MOF during the ICU-course.
