[Disorientation and psychomotor sluggishness as parameters of estimation of brain damage assessment]

In a group of 110 patients with cerebral lesions the relationships were analysed between 7 features (patient's age, educational level, disorientation, psychomotor sluggishness, clinical diagnosis, EEG pattern, character and site of lesion) using the method of cluster analysis (Wrocław taxonomy). A correlation was noted between disorientation, diagnosis, character and site of lesions and age. No significant correlation was demonstrable between disorientation and psychomotor sluggishness. EEG changes and educational level were not related to any of the above features.
