    Prognosis for traumatic head injury patients depends on initial neurological status, age, and underlying conditions. Severe initial symptoms (Glasgow Coma Scale score ≤4) indicate a poor prognosis, with high mortality rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Traumatology
    • Neurology

    Context:

    • A prospective study was conducted in Créteil from October 1983 to October 1984.
    • 155 patients admitted for traumatic head injury (excluding gunshot wounds) were included.
    • Patient demographics included 30% infants, 60% adults (15-60 years), and 5% over 60.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the prognostic factors and outcomes in patients with traumatic head injury.
    • To evaluate the role of initial neurological status, age, and comorbidities on patient prognosis.
    • To assess the findings of computed tomography (CT) scans and the impact of interventions.

    Summary:

    • Initial Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score was a critical prognostic indicator; 10 of 11 patients with GCS ≤4 died, versus 12 of 144 with GCS >5.

  • CT scans revealed extradural hematomas in 10% of cases; 22% showed abnormalities without clinical symptoms.
  • Surgery was performed in 24% of patients, with higher rates in alcoholic patients (30%) due to intracerebral hematomas. Barbiturates were used for uncontrolled intracranial pressure in 16% of cases.

    • Impact:

    • 15% of patients experienced neurological deterioration, requiring reoperation in 9 cases.
    • Overall outcomes included 112 good/moderate recoveries, 22 severe disabilities, 5 persistent vegetative states, and 21 deaths.
    • Findings highlight the importance of early neurological assessment and timely intervention in managing traumatic head injuries.
