Abstract

92 fire fighters with the toxic encephalopathies and with no signs of this disease have been examined using the electrophysiological and medical-psychological procedures. The resulting study indices have been processed using a discriminant analysis. The probability of the toxic encephalopathy development in the subjects with occupational exposure to a complex of the harmful chemical substances has been calculated using the diagnostic coefficients and a prognostic index.
