The study of plasma albumin and hemoglobin level on prognosis of patients with severe craniocerebral trauma / 中国医师进修杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the relationship between plasma albumin and hemoglobin(Hb) levels and prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma. Methods The clinical data of 124 patients with severe craniocerebral trauma form January 2010 to January 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The relationship between plasma albumin and Hb levels and prognosis were analyzed. Hb level was obtained in 3 days of admission, and then the patients were divided into Hb 110 g/L group, and also were albumin 31 g/L group according to the mean albumin level. Multifactor Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between Hb, albumin levels and prognosis. Results Among 124 patients, 37 patients (29.8%) were given red blood cell (RBC) transfusion, and 28 patients (22.6%) received albumin treatment. The hospital mortality was 20.2% (25/124). The age, scores of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ ), and hospital mortality in different Hb level groups had no significant differences (P>0.05). The age, scores of GCS score and APACHEⅡ score in different albumin level groups had no significant differences (P>0.05), but the hospital mortality in different albumin level groups had significant difference 31.2%(10/32), 24.2%(8/33), 9.7%(3/31), 14.3%(4/28), P31 g/L group than that in albumin 29-31 g/L group. Conclusions 29-31 g/L albumin level is the best for severe craniocerebral trauma patients. There is no significant impact of Hb on the prognosis for severe craniocerebral trauma patients.
