ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the feasibility of using bispectral index (BIS)value to assess the degree of acute brain injury (ABI) and study the correlation between Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)scores and BIS values in ABI patients. Method A prospective and double-blinded study was conducted to assess GCS scores and BIS values in 330 patients with ABI from January 2013 till July 2017. Mean BIS values (BISMEAN) in mild, moderate and severe group of ABI were calculated. Linear regression between BIS values and GCS scores was constructed. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves to predict non-mild ABI (GCS score less than 13) and severe ABI (GCS score less than 9) were plotted respectively. Results BISMEAN were significantly different among mild, moderate and severe ABI group (75.46±12.94、64.30±12.56、50.37±16.90 respectively, P＜0.01). There were a significant positive correlations between GCS scores and BIS values (R2=0.446, F=264.374, P＜0.01). Regression equation was BIS=2.96 GCS+33.77. ROC curve to predict non-mild ABI demonstrated that area under the curve (AUC)was equal to 0.835 and the optimal cut-off point (BIS value) corresponding with the maximum of sensitivity+specificity was 72.7(sensitivity=0.689, specificity=0.840); ROC curve to predict severe ABI demonstrated that AUC was equal to 0.846 and the optimal cut-off point (BIS value) corresponding with the maximum of sensitivity + specificity was 65.8 (sensitivity=0.721, specificity=0.861). Conclusion BIS values significantly correlate with GCS scores in ABI patients, indicating the feasiblity of using BIS value to assess the degree of ABI. Furthermore, continuous and real-time BIS monitoring can assess degree of ABI better than BIS value.
