Correlation between emergency treatment time and prognosis of acute traumatic brain injury patients caused by external violence

Abstract

Objective To explore the correlation of prognosis with emergency treatment time, gender, age and GCS score of acute traumatic brain injury patients caused by external violence. Methods 92 acute traumatic brain injury patients caused by external violence were selected. The gender, age, emergency treatment time, post-resuscitation GCS and GOS after 5 months were collected and analyzed. The relationship between patients'signs and emergency treatment time and prognosis were analyzed. Results The differences of prognosis between elderly patients and younger patients were statistically significant(χ2=5.30,P<0.05). The differences of prognosis in patients with different GCS scores were statistically significant(χ2=11.97,P<0.01). The differences of prognosis in patients with different emergency treatment time were statistically significant(χ2=15.74,P<0.01). The prognosis with age and emergency treatment time had a significant correlation(P=0.016,0.007). The prognosis of patients with different emergency treatment time had a significant difference(χ2=28.45,P<0.01). Conclusion The age, post-resuscitation GCS and emergency treatment time are meaningful in predicating patients'mortality and prognosis. The shorter the emergency treatment time, the better the prognosis. Key words: Craniocerebral trauma; Prognosis; Risk factors
