Methods for assessing early characteristics and late outcome after severe head injury have been devised and applied to 700 cases in three countries (Scotland, Netherlands, and USA). There was a close similarity between the initial features of patients in the three series; in spite of differences on organisation of care and in details of management , the mortality was exactly the same in each country. This data bank of cases (which is still being enlarged) can be used for predicting outcome in new cases, and for setting up trials of management.
评估重度颅脑损伤早期特征和晚期预后的方法已被设计出来,并应用于三个国家(苏格兰、荷兰和美国)的700例病例。三个系列患者的初始特征非常相似;尽管在护理组织和管理细节上存在差异,但每个国家的死亡率完全相同。这个病例数据库(仍在扩充)可用于预测新病例的预后,并用于开展管理试验。
