Significance of warning score of potential critical disease in predicting changes in patients with traumatic brain injury / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the significance of warning score of potential critical disease in predicting changes in patients with traumatic brain injury. Methods The clinic information of 75 patients with traumatic brain injury who were treated in the People's Hospital of Huangshan Affiliated to Wannan Medical College from Jan. to Dec. 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. The warning score of potential critical disease, modified early warning score( MEWS)and glasgow coma score( GCS)of all patients and the rates of changes in patients were calculated. Results Of 75 patients enrolled,60 were survived and 15 were died. Seventy-five patients were performed 448 times of warning score of potential critical disease,MEWS and GCS. The maximum, minimum of warning score of potential critical disease were 24 and 0,and the median score(P25,P75)was 4(2, 7). The maximum,minimum of MEWS were 24 and 0,and the median score( P25,P75 )was 4( 3,7 ). The maximum,minimum of GCS were 8 and 3,and the median score(P25,P75)was 5(4,7). The area under ROC of warning score of potential critical disease was 0. 76(95%CI =0. 66 -0. 86,P ﹤0. 01),Youden index was 0. 42 when score was taken 5. 5. The area under the ROC of MEWS was 0. 71( 95%CI =0. 61 -0. 81,P﹤0. 01),Youden index was 0. 4 when taken 3. 5 score. The area under the ROC of GCS was 0. 51(95%CI=0. 37-0. 63,P=0. 99),Youden index was 0. 27 when score was taken 4. 5. Conclusion The warning score of potential critical disease is effective to predict changes in conditions of patients with multiple injuries and better than MEWS and GCS.
