The present study was carried out in order to find out the relationship between injury grading and the use of different resources and the result of the treatment in patients with intra-abdominal injuries. The injuries were graded according to two trauma scores: The Injury Severity Score and the Norwegian Injury Score. In 221 patients with intra-abdominal injuries there were good correlations between these two scores and the time of hospitalization, units of blood transfusions, need for respirator treatment and lethality.
