Abstract

BACKGROUND Our aim was to analyze prognostic factors and their association with outcome among children with severe head injury. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study among children (n=55) with severe head injury [Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) <8] who were admitted to our Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) from January 1996 to September 2003. The patients were immediately evaluated with cranial computed tomography (CT) for the severity of head injury as well as for the causes ol secondary insults such as hypoxia and hypotension, metabolic and hematological alterations. Outcome analysis was assessed according to Glasgow Outcome Scale Score (GOS) six months after the injury. RESULTS A poor result occurred in 31 patients (57%) while 24 patients (43%) had favourable results. Multivariate analysis showed significant independent prognostic effect for admission mean systolic blood pressure, presence of hypoxia, multiple trauma, admission GCS score and multiple intracranial lesions (p<0.05). Admission WBC counts and serum glucose levels were not correlated with GOS. CONCLUSION This study describes clinicoradiologic findings and prognostic factors regarding severe head injury in pediatric patients. The goals of managements of pediatric patients with severe traumatic head injury include normalizing intracranial pressure, optimizing arterial blood gases and systemic blood pressure, and prevention ol factors that exacerbate secondary brain injury.

Özet

AMAÇ Ağır kafa travmalı çocuklarda sonuç skorunu etkileyecek klinik, travmatik belirleyici (aktörlerle ilişkin skalaların birlikteliğinin analizi GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Ocak 1996-Eylül 2003 tarihleri arasında nöroloji yoğun bakım ünitemize başvuran 55 ağır kafa travmalı çocuk hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Tüm hastalar acilen bilgisayarlı tomografiyle hastalığın şiddet derecesi ve intrakraniyal travmaların hipoksi, hipotansiyon, hematolojik ve metabolik değişiklikler gibi sekonder nedenleri açısından değerlendirildi. Sonuç analizleri Glasgow sonuç skalasıyla travma sonrası 6. ayda değerlendirildi. BULGULAR Otuz bir hasta (% 57) kabul edilemez, 24 (% 43) hasta ise kabul edilebilir sonuç skoruyla iyileşmiştir. Ağır kafa travmalı çocuklarda çok değişkenli analiz ile ortalama sistolik kan basıncı, hipoksi, hipotansiyon varlığı, başvuru anındaki Glasgow koma skoru ve çoklu intrakraniyal lezyon varlığının anlamlı belirleyici faktörler olduğu gösterildi (p< 0,05) Kala travmasından sonraki başvuru anındaki lökosil düzeyi ve kan glikoz düzeyleriyle Glasgow sonuç skoru (GOS) arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir farklılık bulunamadı. SONUÇ Bu çalışma çocuk hastalarda ağır kafa travmasına ilişkin klinik ve radyolojik bulgularla prognostik faktörleri tanımlamaktadır. Ağır kafa travmalı çocuklarda tedavinin hedefleri hasarlanmayı artıracak nedenlerin önlenmesi kafaiçi basıncının normalleştirilmesi, arter kan gazları ve sistemik kan basıncının optimize edilmesidir.
