Comparison on role of CT image score and Glasgow coma scale in predicting clinical results and prognosis of craniocerebral injury

Abstract:

Objective：To explore the relationship between Glasgow coma scale（ＧCS） and CT image score in predicting clinical results and prognosis of craniocerebral injury. Methods：Consecutive cranial CT scan was carried out in 129 patients with craniocerebral injury. All patients were divided into three groups according to CT image scores：mild injury（≤5 points），moderate injury（6~10 points） and severe injury（≥11 points）. CT image scores were compared with GCS scores and clinical prognosis. Results：Differences between the two kinds of scores were not statistically significant（?X2=0.44，P=0.80）. All types of craniocerebral injury according to CT image scores were statistically related with clinical prognosis（ X2=4.69，Ｐ＝０.03）. Conclusions：Correlation between CT image scores and GCS scores in craniocerebral injury classification exists，which provides an important objective method to evaluate the clinical prognosis of craniocerebral injury.
