Abstract

Background: Injury severity score (ISS), Glasgow coma score (CCS), and revised trauma score (RTS) are the most fre-quently used methods to evaluate the severity of injury in blunt trauma patients. ISS is too complicated to assess easi-ly and GCS and RTS are easy to assess but somewhat subjective. White blood cell count (WBC) is an easy, quick and objective test. This study was performed to evaluate the significance of the WBC count at presentation in the blunt trauma patients. Methods: 713 blunt trauma patients, who were admitted to the Uludağ University Medical Center Emergency Department between 01.04.2000-31.12.2000, were retrospectively evaluated in terms of ISS, GCS, RTS and white blood cell count at presentation. Results: Statistical analysis revealed that WBC was correlated positively with ISS, but negatively with GCS and RTS. Conclusions: The leukocyte count at presentation can be used as an adjunct in the evaluation of the seventy of injury in blunt trauma patients.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma kunt travma olgularında, ilk başvuru anındaki kan lökosit düzeyinin hastayı değerlendirmedeki önem-inin saptanması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Uludağ Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi acil servisine 01.04.2000-31.12.2000 tarihleri arasında başvuran 713 kunt travma olgusu yaralanma şiddet skoru (ISS), Glasgow koma skoru (GKS), erişkin travma skoru (RTS) ve kan lökosit değerleri açısından incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Kan lökosit değeri ile ISS arasında aynı yönde, GKS ve RTS arasında ise ters yönde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Sonuç: ilk başvuru anındaki kan lökosit değeri ISS gibi komplike tanı yöntemleri gerektiren ya da GKS ve RTS gibi basit fakat biraz sübjektif skorlama sistemlerine alternatif, kolay, ucuz ve objektif bir ölçü olarak kullanılabilir.
