ABSTRACT

Objective To develop a new comprehensive trauma score method based on international classification of diseases(ICD) and evaluate the effectiveness of its use in cerebral injured patients.Methods The model of the new trauma score method was constructed by referring to those of some certain comprehensive trauma score methods generally used around the world.Receiver operating characteristics(ROC) analysis was employed to evaluate the effectiveness of outcome prediction for 355 cerebral injured patients using the new developed trauma score method.Statistical comparisons were performed between the AUC for the new trauma score values and that of NISS values derived from two professional raters.Results The area under the curve(AUC) for the new trauma score values was as large as 0.925 4,whose 95% CI ranged from 0.863 4 to 0.987 5,and is statistically different from 0.5(P
