Risk factors for outcome of traumatic brain injury patients associated with multiple injuries: a report of 1026 cases / 中华创伤杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the distribution features of injury regions and severty of patients with traumatic brain injury ( TBI ) associated with muhiple injuries and discuss the influence of different injury regions and severity on their outcome.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed for clinical data of 1026 patients treated from August,2007 to August,2010. Results The majority of TBI patients associated with multiple injuries were young people( accounting for 78.07％ of the total injuries),among whom the males outnumbered females in proportion of 3.621,and the multiple injuries were mainly characterized by chest injuries (accounting for 46.69％ of multiple injuries).Spearman analysis indicated that Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) was correlated with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)score,age,maxillofacial region injuries,chest and abdomen injuries (P ＜ 0.05 ).Logistic regression analysis manifested that age,GCS score,and lung injury were the independent risk factors of high mortality in TBI patients associated with multiple injuries. Conclusion Low GCS scores,old age and severe lung injuries indicate a high mortality and morbidity,while injuries in extremities and pelvis have no significant influence on the outcome.
