Abstract:

Objectives To investigate the factors related to the long-term outcome for patients after severe traumatic brain injury.
Methods From January, 2015 to December, 2018, 135 patients with severe traumatic brain injury were selected. Their gender, age (of onset), education level, injury sites, and lesion side were recorded, and they were assessed with Disability Rating Scale (DRS), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) for motor and balance and modified Barthel Index (MBI). They were assessed with DRS again one year after discharge.
Results The age (r = 0.188), early DRS score (r = 0.530), MMSE score (r = -0.376), FMA for motor (r = -0.284) and balance (r = -0.425) score, MBI score (r = -0.480), brain stem injury (r = 0.194) and diffuse brain injury (r = 0.202) were related to DRS scores as follow-up (P < 0.05); while, the gender ( r = -0.175), early DRS score (r = 0.586), MMSE score (r = -0.242), FMA for motor (r = -0.301) and balance (r = -0.228) score, MBI score (r = -0.367) and occipital lobe injury (r = 0.209) were related to difference of DRS (P < 0.05).
Conclusion The age, early cognitive and motor dysfunction are related with the outcome of one year of patients after severe traumatic brain injury. More researches are needed to explore the impact of injury sites on the outcome.
