ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Rotterdam Computed Tomography Score (RCTS) are widely used to predict outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The objective of this study was to determine whether the GCS and RCTS components can be used to predict outcomes in patients with traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (IH) after TBI. PATIENTS ANDMETHODS:
Between May 2009 and July 2017, 773 patients with IH after TBI were retrospectively reviewed. Data on initial GCS, RCTS according to initial brain CT, and status at hospital discharge and last follow-up were collected. Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between GCS and RCTS components with outcomes after TBI.RESULTS:
Among the 773 patients, the overall in-hospital mortality rate was 14.0%. Variables independently associated with outcomes were the verbal (V-GCS) and motor components of GCS (M-GCS), epidural mass lesion (E-RCTS) and intraventricular or subarachnoid hemorrhage components of RCTS (H-RCTS) (pâ¯<â¯0.0001). The new TBI score was obtained with the following calculation [V-GCSâ¯+â¯M-GCS] - [E-RCTS + H-RCTS].CONCLUSION:
The new TBI score includes both clinical status and radiologic findings from patients with IH after TBI. The new TBI score is a useful tool for assessing TBI patients with IH in that it combines the GCS and RCTS components that increases area under the curve for predicting in-hospital mortality and unfavorable outcomes and eliminates the paradoxical relationship with outcomes which was observed in GCS score. It allows a practical method to stratify the risk of outcomes after TBI.Palavras-chave
