Prognostic Value of Computerized Tomography Scan Characteristics in Traumatic Brain Injury: Results from The IMPACT Study

Abstract: Computerized tomography (CT) scanning provides an objective assessment of the structural damage to the brain following traumatic brain injury (TBI). We aimed to describe and quantify the relationship between CT characteristics and 6-month outcome, assessed by the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Individual patient data from the IMPACT database were available on CT classification (N = 5209), status of basal cisterns ( N = 3861), shift ( N = 4698), traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (tSAH) ( N = 7407), and intracrani… Show more

“…The prognostic value of cranial CT scan is also limited. 16 The IMPACT score, based on a multivariate model combining clinical, biochemical, and CT scan characteristics, has been developed from a dataset of more than 9,000 patients and has been validated externally against similar large patient populations. 17 However, this score does not have the discriminative power needed for clinical decision-making in individual patients.…”

“…1 Among the various pathologies associated with TBI, gray and white matter contusions are the most frequent focal abnormalities associated with high mortality and unfavorable functional outcome. 2 The pathophysiology of cerebral contusions is characterized by complex regional and temporal changes of cerebral blood flow and metabolism, 3,4 disruption of the blood brain barrier resulting in brain edema formation, 5 and cell death signaling, 6 -8 finally leading to progressive neuronal cell death in pericontusional tissue (ie, the traumatic penumbra). 9 The macroscopic manifestation of pericontusional cell death is a delayed increase of contusion volume over time, 10 a finding termed "secondary contusion expansion," and recently characterized experimentally in detail.…”

“…Outcome prediction is not an easy task to achieve after HI, because of complexity of affecting the factors. We described two new predicting models with well described parameter by recent studies for affecting the prognosis of head injured patient (1,(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). In differently, the most of these parameters used in our models were simplified present or absent for easy using.…”
