“…The OSB approach undoubtedly requires further discussion and refinement. A general problem with characterizing complex processes by using unidimensional scores is that such scores often rely on the subjective assignment of points that may be susceptible to substantial inter-observer and intra-observer variability [76][77][78]. In our proposed scoring approach this is unlikely to be a problem, as we use a priori selected cutoffs as opposed to subjective judgment.…”

Despite compelling basic science evidence, the search for causal associations linking specific pro- and anti-oxidants to presumably oxidative stress-related neoplasms, such as colorectal adenoma, has produced inconsistent results. We developed an oxidative balance score (OBS) to characterize the pro-oxidant and anti-oxidant exposures of 2,305 participants in a case-control study of colorectal adenoma that used both endoscopy-confirmed and community controls. Twelve lifestyle medical and dietary factors with known pro- or anti-oxidant properties were considered. Each high anti-oxidant exposure and low pro-oxidant exposure was awarded one or two points depending on the level of exposure, and the points for each OBS component were summed. We observed a significant inverse association between OBS (continuous variable) and colorectal adenoma in the analyses with either community, or endoscopy controls (each p-trend < 0.01). When the OBS was treated as an ordinal variable and a score of

The Neurological Outcome Scale for Traumatic Brain Injury (NOS-TBI) is a measure assessing neurological functioning in patients with TBI. We hypothesized that the NOS-TBI would exhibit adequate concurrent and predictive validity and demonstrate more sensitivity to change, compared with other well-established outcome measures. We analyzed data from the National Acute Brain Injury Study: Hypothermia-II clinical trial. Participants were 16-45 years of age with severe TBI assessed at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury. For analysis of criterion-related validity (concurrent and predictive), Spearman's rank-order correlations were calculated between the NOS-TBI and the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS), GOSExtended (GOS-E), Disability Rating Scale (DRS), and Neurobehavioral Rating Scale-Revised (NRS-R). Concurrent validity was demonstrated through significant correlations between the NOS-TBI and GOS, GOS-E, DRS, and NRS-R measured contemporaneously at 3, 6, and 12 months postinjury (all p < 0.0013). For prediction analyses, the multiplicityadjusted p value using the false discovery rate was < 0.015. The 1-month NOS-TBI score was a significant predictor of outcome in the GOS, GOS-E, and DRS at 3 and 6 months postinjury (all p < 0.015). The 3-month NOS-TBI significantly predicted GOS, GOS-E, DRS, and NRS-R outcomes at 6 and 12 months postinjury (all p < 0.0015). Sensitivity to change was analyzed using Wilcoxon's signed rank-sum test of subsamples demonstrating no change in the GOS or GOS-E between 3 and 6 months. The NOS-TBI demonstrated higher sensitivity to change, compared with the GOS ( p < 0.038) and GOS-E ( p < 0.016). In summary, the NOS-TBI demonstrated adequate concurrent and predictive validity as well as sensitivity to change, compared with gold-standard outcome measures. The NOS-TBI may enhance prediction of outcome in clinical practice and measurement of outcome in TBI research.

“…The executive/cognitive items from the Neurobehavioral Rating Scale-Revised (NRS-R) [15,16] , the Bicêtre outcome score [8] , and the Barthel index [17] were used in the evaluation of each patient. Factors loading under executive/cognitive in the NRS-R included patient difficulties with planning, mental flexibility, memory, disorientation, initiative or motivation, self-appraisal, conceptual disorganization, and oral comprehension [15] .…”

AIM:To study the clinical outcomes of treating vein of Galen aneurysmal malformations (VGAM), we assessed our patient cohort using standardized cognitive and functional measures. METHODS:A retrospective review of patients with VGAM treated by a single practitioner between 2003 and 2009 was performed for this study. In addition to routine clinical assessment, all patients were evaluated for cognitive and functional impairment using validated measures including the Neurobehavioral Rating ScaleRevised, the Bicêtre outcome score, and the Barthel index. RESULTS:Five patients underwent combined transarterial and transvenous embolization of their VGAM during the study period. VGAMs were classified based on angioarchitecture as either choroidal (1/5) or mural (4/5) according to the classification scheme of Lasjaunias. In total, 13 embolization procedures were performed consisting of 1 to 3 treatment stages per patient. Complete or near complete occlusion was achieved in 4 patients, while subtotal occlusion was achieved in 1 patient. �uring follow-up (median 62.6 mo), all patients were either unchanged or cognitively and neurologically intact.CONCLUSION: VGAM can be safely and effectively treated by staged transarterial and transvenous embolization. Using this strategy, excellent long-term cognitive and functional outcomes can be achieved.
