The comparison of the predictive value of different trauma scores on the head injury prognosis / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective　To compare the predictive value of Glasgow coma scale (GCS), revised trauma score (RTS) and acute phsiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHEⅡ) system on head injury prognosis, and selectscoring systems apt to predicting prognosis of the head injury. 　Methods　The data of 116 case of head injury were reviewed. The correlation between the score of GCS, RTS, or APACHEⅡ and the patients' prognosis was determined by Spearman rank relation test on admission. Then, the logistic regression analysis was administered, in which GOS I～Ⅲ in half year were regarded as risk event. The independent predictive varieties were determined from following varieties GCS, systolic pressure, respiratory rate, age, and chronic health condition. 　Results　GCS, RTS and APACHEⅡ were significantly related with the prognosis (r=0.660,0.676 and -0.578, respectively). GCS and age were independent predictive indexes. 　Conclusions　RTS system doesn't show the superiority to GCS system. The predictive accuracy may improve if GCS system is appropriately combined with APACHEⅡ system.
