Abstract

BACKGROUND Patients with civil cranial gunshot injuries who were treated in our hospital were statistically analized for the factors acting on 7 days survival and prognosis without regarding treatment modalities. MATERIAL AND METHOD Patients were divided into two groups according to the mortality rates in 7 days following the trauma without regarding treatment modalities. Initial GÇS score, pupillary response to light, coagulopathy, ventricular penetration and number of hemispheres affected are 5 differentials evaluated separately and in combination for their effects on mortality rates within 7 days posttraumatically and their statistical significance. RESULTS Thirty six male (75%) and 12 female (25%) patients included in the study. Total and 7 day- survival rates were 27% (13/48), and 31% (15/48) respectively. Among GGS scores, pupillary defects, coagulopathy, intraventricular penetration, the number of hemispheres affected, the most important prognostic factors of the patients living less than 7 days were found to be primarily coagulopathy and then pupillary defects. The other variables were not significantly effective and the results were in accordance with the literature. CONCLUSION In civilian patients with cranial gunshot injuries pupillary defect and coagulopathy were statistically significant prognostic factors. We think that agressive medical and surgical treatment will be beneficial even if the patients neurological status is deteriorating.

Özet

AMAÇ Ateşli silahla başlarından yaralanmaları nedeniyle hastanemizde tedavisi yapılan sivil hastalarda tedavi şekilleri dikkate alınmaksızın 7 günlük sağkalımı etkileyen faktörler istatistiksel olarak incelenerek GKS, pupilla defekti, koagülopati, intraventriküler penetrasyon, tutulan hemisfer sayısı gibi faktörlerin prognoz üzerine etkileri ortaya konmaya çalışıldı. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM Hastalar tedavi şekilleri dikkate alınmaksızın yaralanmayı izleyen 7 gün içinde toplam mortaliteleri yönünden iki gruba ayrıldı. Başlangıç Glasgow Koma Skoru (GKS), pupillanın ışık cevabı, koagülopati, ventriküler penetrasyon ve tutulan hemisfer sayısından oluşan toplam 5 değişkenin ayrı ayrı ve birlikte 7 günlük mortalite üzerine olan etkileri ve istatistiksel anlamlılıkları araştırıldı. BULGULAR Çalışma grubundaki 48 hastanın 36'sı (%75'i) erkek, 12'si (%25'i) kadındı. Çalışma grubumuzda toplam sağkalım oranı %27 (13/48), 7 günlük sağkalım oram % 31 (15/48) olarak saptanmıştır. GKS, pupilla defekti, koagülopati, intraventriküler penetrasyon, tutulan hemisfer sayısını içeren değişkenlerden 7 günden kısa sağkalımı olanlarda mortalite üzerine en yüksek etkinin öncelikle koagülopati daha sonra da pupilla defekti ile olduğu saptanmıştır. Diğer değişkenler mortalite üzerine anlamlı ölçüde etkili olmayıp sonuçlar literatürle paralellik göstermiştir. SONUÇ Ateşli silahlarla başlanndan yaralanmış hastalarda pupilla defekti ve koagülopati prognoz tahmininde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Nörolojik durumu kötü bile olsa bu tür hastalarda agresif medikal ve cerrahi tedavinin faydalı olacağı düşüncesindeyiz.
